25 meters is roughly 82-83 feet long. If I remember correctly, 1 inch equals 2.54 cm: you do the math. One mile is 5280 feet. In meters I believe that is roughly 1680m? Depending on how you look at it, you would have to do, I believe, 64 lengths of the pool to get to a mile. A lane may be 7 to 9 feet wide (I would say 8 in the center, 9 on the sides), and 3 to 5 feet deep, for lap swimming. Stats based on exeperience...

An Olymic size swimming pool it 50m long by 25 m wide and at least 2m deep. There has to be 10 lanes (8 competitive plus 2 outside lanes) which are 2.5m wide. The water temperature hs to be 25-28°C (77-82.4°F) with the light intensity at least 1500 lux. The water volume therefore has to be at least 2,500m3 or 2,500,000 litres

Michael Phelps went to the University of Michigan, studying sports marketing and management.

He wasn't allowed on the school team because of his professional status, but he helped out.

one of many lanes in a competition pool is about 10 feet wide. though I have been in one lane pools of 8 foot width that work just fine. one reason for the extra width in the multi lane pool is that when in heavy use, there is some overlap of hands/arms and the width is useful to avoid collision. also, during competition, the lanes are wide so that swimmers cannot draft off of one another. hope this helps aloha

Several companies have developed specialized tracking systems for collecting real-time data from different types of sports. These tracking systems are now used by broadcasters to add graphics elements that are "registered" or

"locked on" to the video. An early example is the Sportvision's FoxTrack hockey puck tracking system which allows the broadcaster to render glows or streaks where the hockey puck appears in the video frame.

More recently Sportvision has developed a system for rendering a virtual "1st and 10" line now used in many NFL broadcasts. Another form of registered graphics enhancement, also targeted towards sports broadcasts, is the insertion of images (typically advertising logos) registered to physical surfaces at the event site (e.g., the playing field, existing billboards). Orad and Princeton Video Image are among the pioneers of this technique. As a recent example, in NBC broadcasts from the summer Olympics in Sydney, shots of the swimming events had flags inserted into the swimming lanes to help viewers identify the competitors.

Extremely accurate camera tracking is the basis for inserting registered graphics in live video. Camera tracking equipment is well known from virtual studios [7] and special-effects work, however live production with highzoom cameras, as is common for sports, adds to the challenge of collecting accurate camera data.

Comment: good luck finding a detailed explanation on the internet of how it's done exactly. If somebody does, please share. It would be interesting to know.

When using a starting block in the Olympics swimming pools, the minimum water depth is 1.35 meters, which is 4.43 feet deep. From the end wall the depth can range between 1 meter to 6 meters, or 3.28 feet to 19.69 feet.

In ancient days, swimming was usually done naked, as fabric would weigh you down. The height of swimsuit fashion was the nearly-complete coverage of the bathing suits of Victorian England, which persisted in England and the US until the 1930s. Afterward, social mores relaxed and less was covered, with the bikini becoming fashionable in the 1950s.
