I, being a Water Safety Survival Instructor Trainer, would swim 4.5 laps if it was a timed event. Because 9 lengths are going to be a little less than 8 yards to short. 5 laps giving you 10 lengths will put you swimming 546.81 yards. So that is what this JARHEAD would advise.
An Olympic size pool is 50m (54.68 yards) long so 9.14 laps would equal 500yards.
An Olympic pool is 50 metres long so half a mile = 16.1 laps approx.
In a 25-yard pool, 40 lengths (or 20 laps) equals 1000 yards.
If this helps, each lap ( there and back is 50 meters ). 440 yards is 402.336 meters. 402.336 divided by 50 is 8.04 laps. 440 yards = 8.04 laps. ( there and back ) Hope this helps! :D
There are 36 laps in a 25-yard pool to make a mile. Each lap is 25 yards, and a mile is 1760 yards. So, 1760 yards divided by 25 yards equals 70.4 laps. Since you can't have a fraction of a lap, you would round down to 70 laps, and you would then have swum one mile.
500 yards is 20 laps
20 laps
it depends on if its an oficial size track. if its an official olympic sized track it will be 100 laps. 4 laps equals 1 mile so 4 times 25 would be 100 laps
32 in a 50metere (Olympic pool)
It could be either 50 or 25. The one I swam in was 25 yards.
It depends on the size of the swimming pools. If the pool is small, you need to swim many laps to get to 1/4 mile. 1/4 mile is 440 yards.
It appears there is a different opinion on this subject. The answer you get all depends on who you ask. There are 1760 yards in a mile. In a 25 yard pool (one length), 50 yards (2 lengths) equals one lap. When you divide 1760 yards by 50 yards that equals 35.2 laps. Some like to round down and insist 35 laps = one mile, but there are others that like to round up and insist 36 laps = one mile. In a 500 yard swim race, a lap is equal to 25 yards. There are 20 laps in the race, or if a lap is considered to be 50 yards as shown above then there would be 10 laps in the race. 1760 yards in a mile divided by 500 yards = 3.52. If you take 3.52 and multiply it by 10 laps that also = 35.2. So, I guess if you want to go that extra lap you could do 36, or compromise and do 35 laps and then one 25 yard length. I would say that is a fair compromise to the question of 1 mile being equal to 35 or 36 laps. If however you are asking about a running track the answer is 4 laps for a standard 400m (440 yard) and 8 laps (220 yards) for a standard indoor trackIt depends on the length of the lap.Modern running laps are 400 meters, and in that case one mile is:(1 mile) * (1609.344 meters / mile) / (400 meters / lap) = 4.02336 laps.
4 laps of 400m (about 4 laps of 1/4 mile)
