Conversion

Originally posted by nkace How can I figure out how many miles I am doing? How do I convert when the coach says we're swimming a 3200? I know this should be easy but can't remember since it's been a while. is that meters or yards? One mile has 5280 feet, divide that by 3 and get yards, 1760 if you want to be exact. Many people 'affetionatlely' call the 1500 meter distance a mile, and it most closely resembles n actual distance of 1650 yards. Then to complicate things more, you might want to get into a conversion between feet and meters... Then you can try and account for a difference between a nautical mile and a land mile... How exact do you want to be??? ;)
