The pool would be located next to the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which would also get a major facelift if the International Olympic Committee votes to bring the Games back to southern California.<\/p>\n<p>The LA 2024 organizers released the budget for the bid today, a day before the City Council meeting that is expected to officially approve the bid to make Los Angeles the official bid city for the United States. The IOC deadline for countries to submit their bid cities is next month. So far, four other countries have formally expressed interest, with no city currently having an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the Los Angeles bid goes, the budget is set for $4.1 billion against $4.6 billion in revenues. After factoring insurance premiums and other &#8220;contingency&#8221; costs, the organizers expect a $161 million profit for the city. Sponsorships and ticket sales, the organizers believe, will help contribute to the surplus income.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_152159\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152159\" data-attachment-id=\"152159\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/new-soccer-stadium-proposed-as-swimming-venue-for-2024-olympics-in-los-angeles\/la-2024-logo\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-logo-e1494716110901.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1046,728\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"la-2024-logo\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5\/13\/17&lt;br \/&gt;\nla-2024-logo&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: LA2024&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-logo-e1494716110901-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-logo-e1494716110901-1024x713.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-logo-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"LA 2024 logo\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-152159\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-152159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: LA2024<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many of the venues proposed by the organizers already exist in Los Angeles, with the exception of the venue that would host swimming, diving and synchronized swimming in 2024. A new stadium for the planned Major League Soccer team will begin construction soon for an estimated 2020 completion. Whether or not Los Angeles gets the 2024 Olympics, the stadium will be built for the new soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>An estimated 20,000 spectators and media will be able to watch the action inside the unnamed facility, the largest seating capacity for Olympic swimming in history. This would mark the first time a temporary pool will be constructed for Olympic swimming in more than 100 years, though it continues a tradition of holding a major meet in an arena-style facility that began with the 2003 world championships and continued through this month\u2019s world championships.<\/p>\n<p>The funds to construct the $300 million facility is largely in the hands of Major League Soccer, but the L.A. organizers will pay for the costs to install the temporary pools and any structures that will be used specifically for the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium is located on the east side of the Memorial Coliseum, a stone\u2019s throw from where the Olympic Flame will be lit for two weeks of competition. Though the Downtown Cluster \u2013 which includes the Staples Center and Shrine Auditorium \u2013 will receive a major facelift, the organizers do not plan to close the pool that hosted aquatics competitions at the 1932 Olympics. The LA1984 Foundation\/John C. Argue Swim Stadium, located on the southwest side of the Memorial Coliseum, remains in the blueprint for the proposed Olympic Park, which received its own renovation in 2003.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blueprint of Olympic Stadium\/Olympic pool placement (location of pool circled in red)<\/strong><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_152158\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-blueprint.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152158\" data-attachment-id=\"152158\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/new-soccer-stadium-proposed-as-swimming-venue-for-2024-olympics-in-los-angeles\/la-2024-blueprint\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-blueprint.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"700,753\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"la-2024-blueprint\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;la-2024-blueprint&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: LA2024&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-blueprint-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-blueprint.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/la-2024-blueprint-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"LA 2024 blueprint of Olympic stadium and Olympic pool\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-152158\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-152158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: LA2024<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Open water swimming is likely to take place at the Santa Monica Pier, giving athletes a truly open water swimming experience in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles got the opportunity to submit a bid after Boston bowed out due to lack of support from the mayor, who did not want taxpayers to foot most of the bill.
