There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon and there are 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot of water.
Gallons, Deep End:
(2,218.666 x 1,728) / 231 = 16,597 gallons
Gallons, Shallow End:
(597.333 x 1,728) / 231 = 4,468 gallons
Total Gallons of Pool:
16,597 + 4,468 = 21,065 gallons

Don't forget the variable between the shallow and deep ends. It slopes, right? Or it this one straaange pool

Answer 2

a little over 21,000 gallons. without knowing the exact surface of the oval there is no way to tell exact gallons. all afore mentioned figures are based on a 16x32 rectangle not an oval.
