How to Use This Calculator

How the result changes with Pool length (m)

Pool length (m): Length of the playing field in meters. FINA standard is 30m (men) or 25m (women).
Pool width (m): Width of the playing field in meters. FINA standard is 20m.
Pool depth (m): Minimum water depth. FINA requires at least 1.8m; 2.0m preferred for international play.
Competition level (1-4): 1 = recreational, 2 = high school, 3 = collegiate/club, 4 = FINA international.

Playing area (m²): Total water surface area of the playing field.
Water volume (liters): Total water volume needed to fill the pool to the specified depth.
Water volume (gallons): Water volume converted to US gallons.
FINA compliance (%): Score indicating how well the pool meets FINA international standards (100 = fully compliant).
Goal-to-goal distance (m): Distance between the two goal lines.
Half-distance line (m): Position of the half-distance line from each end.
Boundary markers needed: Number of perimeter lane rope/markers needed (spaced every 1.5m).
Caps needed: Total water polo caps needed for two teams plus spares.
Balls needed: Match and warm-up balls recommended for the competition level.
Heating energy (kWh/day): Estimated daily energy to maintain FINA-compliant water temperature.

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Pool length (m) = 30, Pool width (m) = 20, Pool depth (m) = 2, Competition level (1-4) = 3 = 4 input(s) provided
Calculate Playing area
Playing area = poolLengthM * poolWidthM
600 = 600
Calculate Water volume
Water volume = playingAreaM2 * poolDepthM * 1000
1200000 = 1200000
Calculate Water volume
Water volume = waterVolumeLiters * 0.264172
317006 = 317006
