To find the volume of the swimming pool, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth}
\]
In this case, the dimensions of the swimming pool are:
- Length = 8 m
- Width = 4 m
- Depth = 2 m
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Volume} = 8 \, \text{m} \times 4 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m} = 64 \, \text{m}^3
\]
Therefore, the swimming pool can hold **64 cubic meters of water**.
