    I love when they compare size to so many of something that it’s no longer understandable. “The same size 20 Olympic swimming pools!” Ok, I have no idea how much that is now.

      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.
