If you're going to estimate how long it would take to drink all the water from an olympic-sized pool, you're going to need to know how fast you can drink.
To practice conversions, we calculated how long it would take to drink the pool, how many flushes it would provide, and how much it would cost to fill it with jello. Thanks to stupidcalculations.com for the idea!
I set it up with the story of Olympic Hero Eric Moussambani, who had reportedly never seen an olympic-sized pool until he arrived in Sydney to compete in the 2000 Olympics. Despite a difficult swim - which he looked as though he might not even finish - he set a personal best and a national record for Equitorial Guniea. I chose this clip because the clips featuring the actual commentators felt snarky and a little mean.
