Your definition of "a lap"?

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 :)

    A lap in swimming parlance is one length of the pool. Hence a 500 yard swim is 20 laps. Others may disagree, but they are wrong. Why would I lie. You obviously rode the short bus to school. Did you ever leave your helmet at home by mistake?
