As you can see, the pool looks very small, hardly any bigger than Lolita's tank in Miami Seaquarium. Here's a more zoomed-in version of it:

This is a still from the promotional video about the aquarium, which also depicts Narnia swimming in her pool:

So as you can see, this pool isn't going to be very large. I'm also wondering whether the top circular part of the pool is actually part of the orca pool, because there doesn't seem to be any apparent way for an orca getting to it from the other pool. Also, the bridge over the pool could be a danger, as people could throw in litter or even fall into the pool. Another interesting thing to keep in mind is that the orca pool is NOT part of Primorsky Aquarium's dolphinarium. The dolphinarium is indoors and will hold belugas, bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales as well as various seal species and walruses. Obviously, this pool is going to be outdoors, so there is no way that Narnia is going to be a part of the dolphinarium. Of course, she may not even be going to Primorky Aquarium, only time will tell. Finally, I've included the aquarium's promotional video here so you can learn a bit more about this project:

Hiya. I read your description in your profile and I was surprised to see you wanted to be a SeaWorld trainer. I wish you would read the article on the following link (http://www.earthintransition.org/2012/12/letter-to-a-young-dolphin-lover/) and reconsider.
