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 :)
Again,I think this is a frivolous point."Real swimmers" count by distance(25s,50s 100s ,1000s ,5000s,etc)If someone asks me how many laps I swam I know they aren't a swimmer.If someone asks how many yards I swam They may be a swimmer(but one who values quantity over quality,you sprinters know what I am talking about.)
I had a very similar thing to this the other week at the Y pool. I was almost finished and the guy in the next lane over asked how many laps or lengths I had done. I told him I was almost at 3000 yards in under an hour. He then asked "well...how many laps is that". I thought about doing the math, but then just said..."I don't know" and continued on with my next set. :)
