Tollcross International Swimming Centre will welcome Swimming and Para Swimming from 24 to 29 July, bringing world-class competition to the heart of the community. There will be two sessions each day during competition and up to 4,500 spectators at each. The venue will be in use from 8 July to 6 August.

While the area will be busier than usual, especially around session times, residents and businesses will still be able to access their properties as normal. A temporary one-way system will operate between Tollcross Road and Trainard Avenue, alongside short‑term traffic management to keep everyone safe. Walking and cycling routes will remain open, and public transport services will continue to run.

  • Walking and cycling routes remain open but will be busier, especially before and after sessions.
