To become classed as an Olympic pool, a swimming pool has to pass many specifications, just not in length. Width, depth, number of lanes, temperature and light levels are all taken into consideration.

Length, 51 metres, 50 metres between the touch pads.
Depth, 2 metres minimum,
Width, 25 metres,
Number of lanes, 8 +2 which are not used. Each lane must be 2.5 metres wide,
Temperature, 25-28 degrees Centigrade,
Light Level, 1500 Lux,
and lastly Volume, 2,500m3 minimum depending on depth.
Exactly 50 meters.

An Olympic-size swimming pool is the type of swimming pool used in the Olympic Games and other "long course" events (meaning 50 meters in length and not 25 meters or 25 yards). The size is commonly used as a casual measure of volume
