An Olympic swimming pool is roughly 45 m long and 33 m wide.

How long will it take to fill such a pool with an ordinary garden hose?

AMHD doesn't do homework. That's policy.

However - isn't the water flow part of this equation?

You need to supply the depth of the pool,the diamater of the hose,the pressure of the water supply
Or my guess is overnight,plus 3 hours and 17 minutes

45 m long? Does your book really says that? I'm really surprised, because it has a standard: it has to be 50 m. Record breaking relies a lot on specific measurements and here it's the distance.

Would it be good to say someone broke a 100 m athletics sprint record on a pitch roughly 100 m long? I think not.
