Pool Dimension

What is the standard size of a pool?


Most rectangular pools are about twice as long on one side as they
are on the other, with an average depth of around 5.5 feet. Typical
swimming pool dimensions are 10 x 20, 15 x 30, and 20 x 40. When you
think of a backyard pool, you think of a rectangular pool that's
about twice as long as it is wide.

width, and a minimum of 2 m or 6 feet in deep.
The pool has 660,253.09
gallons of water, which
equals about 5, 511,556
lbs.

Lanes
According to FINA rules
World Championship requires
8 lanes and Olympic games
require 10 lanes. The lanes
are minimum of 2.5m wide,
with two spaces of at least
2.5m wide outside of the
first and last lanes.
Lane ropes
In an 8 lane pool, lane ropes extend the full length of the course
and are secured at each end wall to anchor brackets recessed into
the end walls. The anchor are positioned so that the floats at each
end wall of the pool are on the surface of the water.
Each lane rope will consist of floats placed end to end. The Floats
have a maximum diameter of 0.10m-0.15 meter.

In swimming pool the color of the lane ropes is as follows:

Two green ropes for lanes 1 and 9.


Four blue ropes for lanes 2,3, 7 and 8.
Three yellow ropes for lanes 4,5 and 6.

The floats that extend for a distance of 5m from each end of the
pool are red and 15m mark from each end wall of the pool the floats
are distinct. In 50 meter pools the floats are distinct at 25m.
There is only one firmly stretched lane rope between each lane
