claim that there was a about a 300 foot long CUT in the pool lining would mean the length/size of the supposed CUT with a knife would be a little less than the Length of a football field.

Diagram illustrating official NFL football field dimensions, including total field length, width, end zones, hash marks, and yard line measurements used in the NFL
