To find the volume of the model, we can use the scale factor of 1:20.

Since the scale factor is 1:20, it means that every unit on the model represents 20 units in the actual pool.

Given that the volume of the actual pool is 400m³, we can divide it by 20 to find the volume of the model:

400m³ / 20 = 20m³

So, the volume of the model swimming pool is 20m³.
