Hello! I'm a newcomer to swimming laps, and I'd like everyone's input on a debate I'm having with a friend who also swims.
What is technically a lap?
I say it's based on distance. If you're in a 25m pool - then a lap is down and back. If you are in a 50m pool - then a lap is the length of the pool one way.
He says a lap is the length of a pool.
Can someone solve this battle for us?
Thanks!
Seriously, any kind of swimmer is going to tell you how far they swam in yards or meters and will never discuss either lengths or laps.
I agree but the question posed wasn't about yards but about lap/length.
You are too close to Canada to have meaningful input. They use meters and therefore are the outcasts.
