I am not a competitive swimmer, but swimming every day as my exercise. I'm around serious swimmers, and am curious about their lingo and terms. How many lengths of a pool would it take to equal 6000 yards? Also, some folks refer to "sets". What are those (I assume a certain # of lengths) What actually is a lap? Is that one length, or up and back?
Sorry if this is very basic. I love to swim, but have never been on a team, and would like to learn what the swimmers mean.
Thanks,
Sylvia
Is there a website that you can refer me to?:p
