An Olympic-sized pool is 50 meters long by 25 meters wide and runs to a depth of 2.0 meters. A mile is 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards, which is the same as 1,609.344 meters.

1600 meters would require 32 lengths of the pool. To get to a full mile, an additional 9.344 meters would be required.

AnswerThe above is true, technically. However, if you are asking how many lengths the Olympic event "the mile" is, it's actually 30, because it's the 1500.

No offense intended but "technically" and in all actuality there is no swimming event currently in the Olympics called "the mile" but instead there is the 1500 meter freestyle mens (refer to Swimming | Olympic Sport | London 2012 Summer Olympics| 1500m freestyle men - Olympic.org )

AnswerThese are both true, but, if you're swimming in a 25 yard pool it's 66 laps- that's a 1650.

When you're swimming in a 50 meter pool, like in the olympics, it's just a little bit over 30 laps if you want to be exact, but the swimmers only swim 30 laps.

A swimmer's mile is VERY different from your conventional mile. A swimmer's mile is 1650 yards OR 1500 meters. It would be 66 lengths! NOT 72. I'm a swim coach and swim on a United States Masters Swim Team.

depends upon the pool length! In an outdoor 50 meter pool, the swimming "mile" is the 1500 which is 30 lengths; in a 25 yard pool, typical of most indoor courses in the US, the 1650 is called the "mile" and it is 66 lengths. Neither is a true mile of 5,280 feet however.

It depends on the length of the pool. A mile is about 1650 yards. In a 25 yard pool, that is about 66 laps.
