Olympic Pool Measurements and Dimensions

Length: 50 m

Width: 25 m

Number of lanes: 8

Lane width: 2.5 m

Water temperature: 25 °C - 28°C (77°F - 82.4°F)

Olympic-Sized Pool Dimensions

The dimensions of an Olympic pool are required to be 25 metres by 50 metres.

According to the rules of FINA.org, an Olympic pool should be 50 m long by 8 times 2.5 meter lanes with 2.5m outside lanes 1 and 8 (so 10*2.5 = 25m) - minimum depth 2m.

In English units:

50m = 164.042 ft

25m = 82.02 ft

2.0m = 6.56 ft

Surface area = 13,454.72 sq ft

Volume ~= 88,263 cu ft

~= 660,253.09 gallons of water

That's about 5,511,556 lbs (2755.8 tons) of water.

Most lap pools are 25 yards long. Most NCAA swimming programs compete in 25 yard swimming pools, which are often 50M swimming pools sized down with the use of a bulkhead. Many NCAA competitions take place in a 50M competition swimming pool during olympic years, or depending on which international competitions are in the near future.

The term Olympic-sized pool is often misused by hotels, and real estate advertisements. It is highly unusual for these establishments and homes to have an ACTUAL olympic sized swimming pool. If it is not 25Mx50M it really shouldn´t be called Olympic-sized.

The dimensions of an Olympic pool are: 2 meters deep, 25 meters wide, and 50 meters long.
