This is our pool at an angle from a back corner. It shows a diving pool and a regular swimming pool. This photo also shows bleachers on the right and a hot tub for divers in the top right corner.

We were wondering if the empty space in this far corner is too much and suggest that it can be used for something more useful for example, a statue or a piece of art work.

The pool idea is much appreciated, but why would we need a hot tub, any aquatic athlete can deal with a little cold air and/or water. I personally suggest that you give measurements of all, especially the pool which is a certain length and width, not to mention the dive tank will need to be proportional to the pool, and both need to be a certain amount of deepness. Measurements on the diving board would also be wise, and what are y'all gonna do with the storage for the equipment? But that area looks neat so far.

Will there be any seats specifically for watching competition at the diving pool? It looks like the stands on the right side of the lap pool are closer than the ones on the left side. Is this intentional? Is there enough room for competitors and coaches to move around both sides? Is the artwork on the far left wall an image of water polo (I like it)?
You should start specifying materials and colors for these spaces. I'm not sure if a hot tub is necessary, but athletes might appreciate a wading pool, where the water temperature matches the competition pools.
It'd be nice to see some sections and plans, even if they're just sketches. It'll help my understanding of the spaces, as the sketch up models seem to be rendered with a skewed perspective. If using a camera, try to keep the Field of View parameter under 50, also try to add a person, or other indicators for the scale of the space.

Alvin Yeo, Director of Exterior Designs - What will you put in the big open space in the corner? You guys should remove the hot tub like Bram said and make the pool bigger or put in more pools.
Will there be anything in all the extra space around the pool such as chairs or tables to make the pool not seem to small? Elite Innovative Solutions - Mitchell Zaborski

I think the hot tub is an excellent idea for divers because:
a) It helps the athlete keep warm after diving into frigid water
b) It also loosens up the muscles so they can dive again
Also I remember seeing in the London Olympics 2012 for the diving events they had a hot tub where the divers went after their dive. Hot tubs are necessary for the above reasons and if the Olympics athletes use them then it's a good standard to follow. I'd also like to point out that the diving pool is usually cold and when one is diving in and getting out before the body can adjust to the temperature it's a nasty shock. Therefore for the benefits of the divers I recommend keeping it in. Besides hot tubs are a nice thing to have.
