An Olympic swimming pool is in the shape of a cuboid of dimensions 50 m. long and 25 m. wide. If it is 3 m. deep throughout, how many liters of water does it hold?

Given, An Olympic swimming pool is in the shape of a cuboid of dimensions 50 m. long and 25 m. wide and 3m deep.

For calculating the volume of water required into pool, we need to find the volume of cuboidal pool i.e. (lbh).


Volume = l × b × h


= 50 × 25 × 3


= 3750m3
