An Olympic swimming pool is a standardized swimming facility used in the Olympic Games and other international competitions. It measures 50 meters in length, 25 meters in width, and has a minimum depth of 2 meters. The pool is divided into lanes, typically eight, to allow swimmers to compete side by side. The water temperature in an Olympic pool is usually maintained between 25 to 28 degrees Celsius for optimal performance. These pools are designed to meet specific regulations set by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) to ensure fairness and safety during competitions.
