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.

I guess the 1500 M was chosen because it was a track distance.I wish it wasn't,however.It would make more sense to me to run the 1600M in track.It is 4 full laps and it is very nearly 1 mile,so the mile records would have more relevance than they have now.
