A 50-meter pool is an Olympic-sized swimming pool that measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width. It is designed for competitive swimming and is often used in international competitions, including the Olympic Games. The pool is typically divided into lanes, each measuring 2.5 meters wide, allowing multiple swimmers to compete simultaneously. The depth of a 50-meter pool can vary, but it is usually at least 2 meters deep to accommodate diving and ensure safety. These pools are filled with chlorinated water to maintain hygiene and are equipped with starting blocks at each end for swimmers to launch from during races.
