I'm working out in a junior olympic size pool. do you know how many laps (there and back) there are in a mile? and/or what would the math formula be to modify my workouts accordingly?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by Junior Olympic size, but it's pretty easy to convert if you know the following:
1760 yards = 1 mile
1600 meters = 1 mile
So if your pool is 25 yards long, you need to swim 72 lengths to do a mile (it's actually a tad over a mile--i.e., 1800 yards).
If your pool is 25 meters long, you need to swim 64 lengths to do a mile.
If it's some other weird distance, you'll have to do the math based on the above equivalents.
Hope this helps.
