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 there's some confusion between metric and imperial units? One mile is 1609 meters. In a 25 or 50 meter pool, the closest you would come would be either 1600 or 1650 meters.
