The $65-million ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, south of San Diego, is one of three that American athletes use to prepare for the Olympics. In this complex, competitors train for track and field, canoeing, kayaking, field hockey, soccer, archery and rowing. Free tours are offered daily, starting at the Copley Visitor Center, where tourists can buy Olympic memorabilia and souvenirs. Visitors walk through an elevated promenade as they watch athletes train below.
