Olympic size swimming pool

(Redirected from Olympic Swimming Pool)

An Olympic Size Swimming Pool is the type of pool used in the Olympic Games. The size of the pool is commonly used to define the size of other objects, or to explain how much water is in a particular location. The FINA specifications for an Olympic pool are as follows:

Length:50 m
Width:25 m
Number of lanes:8
Lane width:2.5 m
Water temperature:25 °C - 28°C
Light intensity:>1500 lux
Depth:2.0 m minimum

There must be two spaces 2.5 m wide outside lanes 1 and 8 (in effect, two empty lanes).
