Olympics Pools – Athens
“We needed a solution that had already proven itself on the world stage. Weda delivered once again — flawlessly.”
— Facilities Director, Athens 2004 Olympic Committee
The 2004 Olympic Games in Athens featured several aquatic events held in open-air and semi-covered pools. The organizing committee required a solution to maintain crystal-clear water and pristine surfaces throughout weeks of training and competition. Manual cleaning was logistically impossible due to time constraints and the need for continuous readiness. Submersible robotic systems provided a reliable way to clean floors and walls overnight without draining. This ensured compliance with international hygiene standards and contributed to the games’ global success and reputation.
The Challenge
After witnessing the performance of the Weda B600 at the LA Olympics in 1984, Athens organizers sought the same proven technology. They needed robust robotic cleaners that could manage high usage pools without manual scrubbing or downtime — all under tight maintenance windows and global scrutiny.
The Weda Solution
The B600 was deployed across Olympic pool venues. Its reliability and cleaning capacity allowed maintenance crews to work efficiently between competition rounds, without draining the pools or halting operations.
