Hi all, I remember reading a discussion here about what counted as a "lap" (one length versus a round trip), and there didn't seem to be a consensus. I'm interested to know the statistics. So please take the poll :)

  • I've always heard and used lap as down and back. even as a guard the older swimmers would say they swam 33 laps or 64 times across. How old? :) Wouldn't that be 66 lengths? Not sure I trust their terminology if they can't multiply :banana:
