How many laps do you swim on a average workout? I ask because of the lap counter questions. I used to count laps but that was when I was swimming 18 laps or a 1/4 mile I stopped because it got to be a hassle and really did not care..Exercise is what it is but got to wonder how far I do swim.. I try to swim 30 to 45 minutes a day.. 36 laps to about 50 laps I guess. And a lap I am counting is once across 25 meters or 75 feet depending on the pool. Or is that a lenght across..? I am a lightweight compared to some as I know some swimmers training for Olympics measure their distance in thousands of yards a day. or 1760 yards a mile. thats..71 laps a mile 36 laps a 1/2 mile 18 laps a 1/4 mile give a bit.. Now meters unless I'm wrong its about 1624 meters a mile, or 65 laps a mile or 33 laps a half mile or 16 laps a 1/4 mile in a 25 meter pool rounded off.

Counting a lap as each time I touch the wall (since that's when I press my finger lap counter button), I usually do between 84 - 110 laps, it depends on my mood I guess! This is a 25 yards pool, by the way. Yesterday I did 102 laps which is equivalent to 2550 yards (2331 meters/1.44 miles).
Still not as much as a lot of the swimmers here, but I swim for fitness and because I love it, and the last thing I want is to push myself to a point where I'll start dreading my workout (and end up not swimming as often as I do)!
