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)
On my Master's swim team, the slow lane (where I swim) does about 1000 yds per half hour if we're swimming freestyle (fewer yds for other strokes per half hour). The fastest lane does 1000 yds in 20 minutes or less. So my lane aims for 4,000 yds in 2 hrs, while the fast lane aims for 5,000+.
