A typical Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long, 25 meters wide and 4 meters deep. Calculate the amount of water we need to feel it completely. 

The amount of water needed to fill an Olympic swimming pool can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth}
\]

Given:
- Length = 50 meters
- Width = 25 meters
- Depth = 4 meters

Substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 50 \, \text{m} \times 25 \, \text{m} \times 4 \, \text{m}
\]

\[
\text{Volume} = 5000 \, \text{m}^3
\]

So, the amount of water required to fill the pool is **5,000 cubic meters** (m³). 

Since 1 cubic meter equals 1,000 liters, this is equivalent to:

\[
5,000 \, \text{m}^3 \times 1,000 \, \text{liters/m}^3 = 5,000,000 \, \text{liters}
\]

Therefore, **5,000,000 liters** of water are needed to fill the Olympic swimming pool.

4. How much would the weight of the water be if the pool is filled completely?
5. If the pool was half-full, how much water would it contain?

**Tip:** Always double-check your units when solving volume problems to avoid miscalculations!
