At Sleeman Sports Complex, how long is the Brisbane Aquatic Centre's indoor Olympic pool?

The story behind the answer

At Sleeman Sports Complex, the Brisbane Aquatic Centre’s indoor Olympic pool is 50 metres long.

The Brisbane Aquatic Centre in Chandler contains a 50-metre indoor Olympic pool, built for long-course competitive swimming. It also has a separate 50-metre outdoor Olympic pool, so the answer refers specifically to the indoor facility rather than to the centre’s smaller lap or diving pools. The indoor pool is listed with a depth of 2 metres.

Sleeman Sports Complex was purpose-built for Brisbane’s 1982 Commonwealth Games and has since become a major Queensland sports venue. The aquatic centre hosted swimming, diving and other events during Brisbane’s sporting history, while the wider complex also includes cycling, gymnastics and arena facilities.

A common mix-up is choosing 25 metres, because the centre also has a 25-metre lap pool and a 25-metre diving pool. Those are separate facilities. Olympic-standard swimming pools are generally 50 metres long for long-course racing; 25-metre pools are used for short-course competitions.
