"Swimming Mile" = 1650 Yards = 33 Laps (down and back)
"Real Mile" = 1760 Yards = 36 Laps (down and back)
33 laps (down and back) is equal to one "swimming mile", or a 1650.
This figure based on standard YMCA 25 yard pool.
A "Swimming Mile" (1650 above) is shorter than a "Real mile."
If you want to swim a "REAL" mile read below:
1 Mile = 5280 Feet
5280 Feet divided by 3 feet/yard = 1760 Yards
1760 Yards / 25 Yards / length of pool = 70.4 Lengths
70.4 laps / 2(Down+Back) = 35.2 laps
Since it would be odd to just swim .2 laps at the end I typically swim 36 Laps(Down and Back) to cover 1 mile = 72 Lengths of the pool to cover 5280 Feet
I plan to swim a "REAL" mile in a lake at scout camp in a few weeks which will be 5280 feet(1760 yards). In order to prepare and cover that distance I need to practice by swimming 72 lengths of the 25 yard YMCA pool in my neighborhood.
