Pool swimming at the Olympic Games takes place inside a _____________ meter-long swimming pool divided into eight lanes.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) 50
· Pool swimming events at the Olympic Games take place in a 50-meter-long swimming pool, which is divided into eight lanes. This pool length is the standard for all Olympic and international swimming competitions, as defined by the International Swimming Federation (FINA). Each lane is typically 2.5 meters wide, and the total length allows for events ranging from sprints (like 50m and 100m races) to longer distances like 1500m.
Information Booster:
· The Olympic swimming pool has a depth of at least 2 meters, which helps reduce turbulence and makes the pool faster for swimmers.
· The lanes are equipped with anti-wave lane ropes, which minimize disturbances caused by swimmers in adjacent lanes.
