The venue of the aquatics events was the so called "Stade Nautique du Port" at the Port Hercules, the port of Monaco. The harbour contained the water was of the Mediterranean sea. The swimmers had to deal with the temperature of the sea water of 13 degrees Celcius.[7][2] A rectangular competition area in the harbor was created by means of the quay and boats, and measured 50x12 metres.[8][2] The public could watch the matches from the quay as well as from the boats.[8] From the quay, a scaffolding had been built for the diving competitions with the springboard and above it the 5-meter platform.[7]

Nations

change

In mid-April it was announced 52 athletes entered for the aquatic events.[1] Athletes from eight European countries participated: Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.[9] Denmark that has been named as a participating nation didn't compete.[4][3]

The participants from all nations gathered in Paris. From there they made together the journey to Monte Carlo. In Monte Carlo the participants were welcomed by Drigny, the secretary of the French Swimming Federation and board members of the International Sporting Club Monaco.[7]

Denmark is named as one of the competing nations.[2] However, another source indicates they were not officialy registered a few days before the event, and no results of Danish swimmers have been found.[1]
