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.
I can't believe you guys got this sowrong!
A mile is 1760 yards or (very, very close to) 1600 meters. (A meter is about 10 percent longer than a yard.) That means that in a 25 yard pool, you have to swim 72 lengths (actually, 1800 yards, or 40 yards more than a mile); in a 25 meter pool, you have to swim 64 lengths; in a 50 meter pool, you have to swim 32 lengths.
Whatever your yardage is, divide it by 1760 to determine the mile count. 3200 yards = 1.82 miles.
Whatever your meters are, divide this by 1600 to determine the mile count. 3200 meters = 2 miles.
Hope this helps.
