I thought I'd post the answer in case any more such queries came in. Since the volume is 2,500 cubic meters, multiply that by roughly 35.314 cubic feet per meter for 88,285 cubic feet of volume (give or take). If you actually do it by cubing 39.37 cubic inches, then dividing by 12 inches cubed, then multiplying that by 2500, you get 88,286.1371 cubic feet. But 88,285 is a nice round number that will work for most purposes. -- Greg So I was looking at the Google searches that came in yesterday and one directed at this page was for the volume of an olympic-size pool in cubic feet.
