That’s still easy to imagine, compared to the volume of 6000 gummy bears.

To be honest with you I’m not really sure how big a single Olympic size swimming pool is either. 😅

I just fell into a rabbit hole the size of an Olympic Swimming Pool.

Before your comment, i didn’t know this was a thing.

TL/DR

  • Length: 50 m (164 ft 1 in)

  • Width: 25 m (82 ft 0 in)

That’s the size.

Unfortunately, they come in various depths depending on if there is a diving pit or not. Also some of the larger natatoriums will combine up to three of them side by side so they have more lanes. The standard size is 8 lanes IIRC.
