Google Searched “Aquatic Centre”: The frist 10 pages (250 results?) were all places for swimming. no animals. Places were located all over the English speaking world. including descriptions of foreign places. I stopped looking. The place where the London Olympics swimming took place was the "400 million dollar 'Aquatic Centre'” http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqjt4p_extreme-engineering-london-olympic-aquatic-centre-1_tech <http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqjt4p_extreme-engineering-london-olympic-aquatic-centre-1_tech> (a search result) Usually for a “mixed use” term, Google will put a variety of different results on the first page, but none were anything other than swimming pools for trianing/sports. It seems to be a commonly used term for what we are looking for. maybe you thinking of the common term “aquatic Life” - a common term for things that live in water, but a place for aquatic life is commonly known as an “aquarium" or a "marine zoo/park" or a “sea world”. "Life Aquatic” is a wonderful Wes Anderson movie. But that Didn’t come up either. Javbw
