50m
Olympic pool distance
Fifty meters, a distance used in swimming and track events.
The 50m freestyle is the shortest Olympic swimming race—one length of an Olympic-sized pool.
In running, a 50m dash tests pure acceleration.
The notation also describes pool length: a 50m pool versus a 25m short-course pool.
