Why is the mile swim 1650 and not 1750 which would be a little closer to the actual distance of 1760 yards=1 mile. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you.

Could it be that it is not a mile swim,
but closer to the 1500 meter swim ?

I would guess that someone thought to ask a group of swimmers about to swim the "mile" whether they would rather swim 1650 or 1750 - being swimmers, they naturally chose the shorter distance.
