It depends on which pool you swim in. If it is a 25m pool then it will take 20 laps to finish but if it is in a 50 meter pool, which is Olympic size, it will be 10 laps to do 500 meters.
To swim 600 yards, you would need to swim 12 laps in a standard 25-yard pool. This is because 600 divided by 25 equals 24, but you only need to swim 23 laps to reach 575 yards. To reach the full 600 yards, you would need to swim one more lap, totaling 12 laps.
The correct term is lengths but In a 25 yard pool it would be 240 lengths
12 and a half laps
There are 1,609.344 meters in a mile. When 1 length = 1 lap, you would need to complete 64.3 laps to swim a mile.
It would depend on the pool length, In Internationally sanctioned events the pool length is 50 meters. The USA is the only country that holds or has pools that are measured in yards, either 25 or 50. In a 25 yard pool.. 12 laps. In a 50 yard pool, 6 laps.
12
Well, presuming that you equate a "lap" with "one length of the pool", a mile is 1760 yards, which means that you would have to swim 70.4 laps to swim a mile.Thus, a one-half mile is equal to 35.2 laps or, more practically speaking, 35 laps plus 5 more yards.However, in competitive swimming, the 1650 Yard Freestyle and 1500 Meter Freestyle races are colloquially referred to as "the mile."The 1650 Yard Freestyle is only swum in swim meets that take place in non-metric, 25 yard pools. (There is no 1500 Freestyle in meets taking place in these yard-denominated pools.) The 1650 Yard Freestyle is 66 laps. One half of that race is 825 yards, which is 33 laps.The 1500 Meter Freestyle is only swum in meets that take place in pools denominated in meters (pools of either 25 meters or 50 meters in length). (There is no 1650 Freestyle in meets taking place in these meters-denominated pools.) In at 25-meter pool, the 1500 Meter Freestyle is 60 laps, and one-half of it (750 meters) is 30 laps. In a 50 meter pool (i.e. an Olympic-sized pool), the 1500 Meter Freestyle is 30 laps, and one-half of it is 15 laps.
You would need to swim 480 meters to equal .3 miles. One lap, across and back, would be 50 meters. 9 laps across and back would be 450 meters. One more across would be 475 meters. So 10 laps for good measure.
Okay...i know that when i go to swim practice, i swim for a good hour and a half. i know that while im there(swimming constantly)i burn about 1200 calories. So, it doesnt matter how many laps you swim; its how long and how intense. Your very welcome, Grace Kelly Katz5..... well if you want laps, you would have to swim 10-12 laps; there and back counting as one lap. So if you did that you would burn 500 calories, and if you were in a 25 meter pool you would have to swim about 20 laps; there and back counting as one.
Well, it depends on how large is the pool. If you give me the pool's measurements and the swimming person's speed, then I will tell you how long does it usually take to swim these 20 laps. im a 12 year old girl adn it takes me 6:27 SCY but thts my worst event
3 miles = 4 828.032 metres 1 lap = 400 metres 3 miles = 12 laps and 28 metres
