1. minute and 13 seconds
swimming has to do with math because the over strokes have angles and the lap time that u have to aplly to get there
One length is one lap. Webster's II New College Dictionary gives this definition in regard to swimming pools: "2.b. One complete length of a straight course, as in a swimming pool."I think the confusion comes from a swimmer being "lapped", which is a different term and has a different definition. As a competitive swimmer in summer, high school, and college, we counted 1 length as 1 lap no matter how long the pool, and never talked about "lengths of the pool" at all. My lap counters always counted down from 20 for the 500 and from 64 for the mile (in 25m pools). In the Olympics the 50m is one lap. But, the definition of a lap is not linked to any particular measurement; when you turn around, you are swimming a new lap.Perhaps we can do away with the confusion by just talking about yardage/meters instead which is how most competitive swimmers talk about how far they swam.Some people think that 2 lengths of the pool is a lap -- that is from start to the end of the pool and back (seems to make sense, right?), however, according to the rules of the Olympic games, a lap is one length of a pool. This is how competitive high school and college swimmers count laps, as well. In track a lap is one complete distance of the length of track. It's the same in swimming; one length of the pool is one lap.
No person records time during swimming events. Many athletes finish extremly close which is too fast for the human eye to catch. What you see the swimmers touch at the end of a lap is a sensor. Once it is touched a computer records their time automatically. That is how the results show up right away once someone has won.

A lap is not a standard unit of length and so the question cannot be answered. For example, a lap ina swimming pool will be quite different to one on a track field.A lap is not a standard unit of length and so the question cannot be answered.

Either 25 yards or 25 meters. There are even some pools that are 50 meters. But usually the pools are 25 yards.
50 metres
No, only one way.
A 25 in swimming is one lap. A 50 is two laps, a 100 is 4, and so on.
One length of an Olympic size swimming pool is 50mtrs or 164.041 feet, so a lap (2 lengths) would be 328.082 feet
An Olympic pool is 50 meters in length so 50 meters would be one length of the pool .
They usually have a bell which they ring when there is one lap left.
