An Olympic-sized swimming pool is 50m in length. According to the International Swimming Federation (FINA), the specifications for an Olympic-size pool are as follows: Length â¦50m (164ft) width 25m (82ft) lane width 2.5m (8'2) water temp 25 - 28oC (77 - 82oF) min depth 2m (6'7) Volume min. 2,500m3 (88,000ft3)
The first number in these dimensions refers to the diameter of the pool, and the second refers to the height of the pool (and depth of the water). So the aforementioned kiddie pool is six feet wide and twenty inches (four inches shy of two feet) deep.
