This question has been asked many times and the same opinions get trotted out every single time. The real answer is: a lap is either one length of the pool or two, depending on who you ask. For this reason no serious swimmers use the term. Instead we talk about the length of the swim 100, 200 (yards or meters) etc. There's no chance of ambiguity when you just state the distance swum.
