A 50 m swimming pool has about 2,500 times the volume of a 1,000 litre IBC tank. Selected basis: an example for 1,000 litre IBC tank; an example for 50 m swimming pool; approximate values.
Too small to see at this scale. The ring marks its true-scale position, not its volume. The shape has not been enlarged.

These are equal-volume cubes. Edge lengths grow with the cube root of capacity; the cubes do not depict container exteriors.
1 m³ - Volume; example.
An IBC tank is a large industrial container for storing and transporting liquids or granulated substances.
Defined 1,000 litre capacity. Actual containers, servings and fills vary. Outer shape is not used to calculate capacity.

A 50 m swimming pool is a large pool built for competitive swimming events, including international competitions.
Example: 50 × 25 m and uniformly 2 m deep. 2.5 million litres; actual competition-pool depth and volume vary.
