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!

I'm waiting for someone to say they've heard someone use "circuit" on the pool deck. :banana:
For all practical purposes, we should just take a poll and the majority wins.
A majority believing something doesn't always make it right. Sometimes it just makes a lot of people wrong. :afraid:
