Hello and welcome to Sportsweek. This week we welcome all water sports fans in particular. There are going to be fantastic water sports all week at our wonderful new swimming pool in the city centre. You can watch waterpolo on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Come and see strong teams, fast players and interesting games in the pool. Teams from Germany, Russia, China and Brazil are going to fight to find the best players in the world. Monday and Thursday are for diving fans. You can see the best divers from China, the USA, Australia and France.

And the most attractive sport is on Saturday and Sunday. Don't miss the synchronised swimming competitions. This is one of the newest sports events. It's really a show not a sport! If s a kind of water ballet - and only women compete.

If you want more information about any of these events visit the information centre on the first floor or call 122 609 44... I look forward to seeing you at the pool. (Music)
