Holy moly, I'm getting confused....
Like all of us, I learned early on that a mile is defined as 5280'. Simple math coverts 5280' to 1760 yards. But now I've read that a mile in the pool is 1500 meters, or about 1640 yards. :worms:
I swim at a pool that is 25 yards long, so is a mile 66 lengths (or 1650 yards) of a pool, or is it 70 lengths?
I've also heard folks referring to a lap as what I have always thought of as a length...again I swim at a pool that is 25 yards in length....so isn't a "lap" in this case 50 yards (down and back)?
Please set me straight!
:groovy:
Also - what about the fact that "lap" Counters used in distance events don't count laps by 50's but by 25's
Just curious. Are they called lap counters? Do they count single lengths?
