5280 feet in a mile divided by 3 for yards = 1760 yards in a mile
1760 yards in a mile divided by 25 yard pool length = 70.40 laps The above is not correct. While the math is correct, that is not the accepted swimming conversion. A lap is 50 yards; therefore, in a 25 yd pool, a lap is down and back. Also, it is commonly accepted that a swimming mile is 1650 yards. This means that a swimming mile is 33 laps (or 66 lengths). ** Some say that a mile is 32 laps (or 64 lengths).
It takes 70.4 (round up to 71) laps in a 25 yard pool to swim a mile
to figure this out: the number of yards in a mile = 1760 divide by 25 = 70.4
Just note that a LAP is down and back, which is 50 yards. 1760 divide 25 yards is 70.4 LENGTHS, not laps. It is approximately 36 laps in a 25 yard pool to swim a mile.
Another note, in a 25 meter pool it would take 32 laps (or 64 lengths) to swim a mile: the number of meters in a mile = 1600 divided by 50 = 32
If a lap is 50 yd, then (1760yd/mi)/(50yd/lap)=35.2 laps ~ 26 unless you want to stay in the pool.
THE ABOVE IS NOT CORRECT AND NOT FROM A SWIMMER (Obviously)
This is correct:
66 laps in a standard 25m pool = a mile
33 laps in an Olympic 50m pool = a mile
Laps = one way always, never there in back. Its a common misconception but any swim coach will always tell you that a lap is one way no matter what the pool.
Well, in the swimming world a mile is a common event in a meet and is 1650 in yards. In this event there are 66 laps, and a lap is one time across the pool. It's a common mistake for people to think that one lap equal 50 yards.
Hope this helped:)
If you wanted to do an actual mile, you would have to swim 71 laps.
On an outdoor track 4 laps equal one mile. In a swimming pool, a swimming mile is 33 laps down and back, a real mile is 36 laps down and back.
32 laps in a 50 m pool
A mile is equivalent to 1609.34 meters. In a 50 meter pool, doing 32 lengths (laps) would equal approximately one mile.
A mile is 1760 yards. A lap of a 25 yard pool is 50 yards. So number of laps = 1760/50 = 35.2
64 laps to swim a mile in a 25 meter pool
A 23 meter pool is equal to a 25 yard pool. In a swim race, the mile is 66 laps. An actual mile is 68 laps. Its weird.
Half-mile = 1760/2 = 880 yards. 880/25 = 35.2 laps.
Depends on how long the pool is....? 32 laps of a 55 yard pool is one mile... just under 30 laps
first, how many laps to swim a mile in a 25 yard pool. Second, how many laps to swim a mile in a 25 meter pool. Third, subtract the lowest number to get your answer.
1 mile = 1.609 kilometres = 1609 metres = 32.18 lengths or 16.09 laps.
lets see... 5280ft = 1 mile, so 5280ft/70ft is about {{75.5 laps}}
In a 50 meter pool, one mile would be 16 laps (32 lengths).
