How many olympic swimming pools do you need to accommodate a blue whale?


A blue whale can be 30m long, 5m high, and 10m wide, so to fit in Olympic-size swimming pools (50m/25m/2+m) you'd need 3 pools stacked on top of each other.

(Technically there's no limit to the depth of the Olympic pool, so you might just need 1 really deep one.)
