I still maintain that use of the word "lap" as a noun labels you as a competitive swimming tyro. It's tantamount to wearing your goggles around your neck.
Yep. I had this conversation a couple years ago:
Her: How long is this pool?
Me: 25 yards.
Her: How many laps are a quarter mile?
Me: 18 lengths of the pool.
Although she was very obviously a tri-n00b preparing for a sprint, to her credit she was there swimming multiple times per week for a couple months. Proper preparation: :applaud:
