There are pools of all different sizes labled "Olympic." How can all these different sized pools be Olympic? Are they mislabled?

The Olympics are swum in a 50-meter pool, which is equivalent to 164 feet long.
Some of the pools on that link are described as 330 feet long. That would be 100 meters; I'm not sure I've ever seen such a pool.
Perhaps their definition of "Olympic" is, "it has lines painted on the bottom."
