Aqua Wing Arena is an indoor aquatics arena in Nagano, Japan. The arena is located in the Yoshida area of the city of Nagano, in Nagano Sports Park (長野運動公園, Nagano undou kouen), 5 km northeast of Nagano Station. The closest station is Asahi Station on the Nagano Electric Railway, a distance of 1 km.
The Aqua Wing Arena was constructed as Venue B for the ice hockey events at the 1998 Winter Olympics, and was the last venue to be completed for the Games, in September 1997.[1][2] Big Hat, the principal Venue A for the ice hockey competition at the 1998 Winter Olympics, is located approximately 5.3 km southwest of Aqua Wing Arena. M-Wave, the site of the speed skating events at the Games is located approximately 2.5 km south of Aqua Wing Arena.
The Aqua Wing Arena was designed to be converted into an aquatics centre, and the retrofit was completed in 1999.[3] The arena consists of a 50-meter pool, a 25-meter swimming pools, and a diving pool.[a 2] The roof is retractable. Although the arena sat 6,000 during the 1998 Winter Olympics, the civic pool currently seats 2,000 spectators.[4] The Aqua Wing Arena will be an international pre-training camp for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[5]
