Less onerous breadth and depth regulations exist for lesser swimming competitions, but any "<b>long course</b>" event requires a course length of 50 metres (164 ft 0.5 in), as distinct from "<a href="/wiki/Short_course_(swimming)" title="Short course (swimming)">short course</a>" which applies to competitions in pools that are 25 metres (82 ft 0 in) in length (or 75 feet (22.9 m) in the United States). If touch pads are used in competition, then the distance is relative to the touch pads at either end of the course, so that the pool itself is generally oversized to allow for the width of the pads. </p><p>An Olympic-size swimming pool is used as a <a href="/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of_measurement" title="List of unusual units of measurement">colloquial unit</a> of <a href="/wiki/Volume" title="Volume">volume</a>, to make approximate comparisons to similarly sized objects or volumes. It is not a specific definition, as there is no maximum limit on the depth of an Olympic pool.
