Barcelona's Olympic swimming pool


I've been to Barcelona a couple of times, but I never had a chance to visit it's outdoor Olympic swimming pool (Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc) which has one of the best views of the city. 

After watching this clip with professional diver José Marillo, I will make sure to check it out next time I visit Barcelona. 
 

The dive feels as good as it looks. I see sky, water and then sky again and that is when I know it is time to open out my body for the rip entry. That means no splash. It is a very satisfying moment. José Marillo   (via The Guardian)
