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.

The standard athletics track is 400m. So a 5000 meter race would be 12 and a half times around it.

5000 meters would be 12.5 laps around an Olympic size (400 meters) track.
