What these two things are
50 m swimming pool
A 50 m swimming pool is a large pool built for competitive swimming events, including international competitions.

How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Football pitch is labelled recommended; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- 50 m swimming pool is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
