This can be determined by dividing the total distance to be swum by the distance of one lap. For example:
For a short course pool of 25 yards, one lap is the distance from one end of the pool to the other and back. One lap in this pool is 50 yards. Therefore, dividing the total distance to be swum by the length of one lap, we get,
437/50=8.74 laps
so it takes 8.74 laps to swim 437 yards in this pool.
It depends on the size of the swimming pools. If the pool is small, you need to swim many laps to get to 1/4 mile. 1/4 mile is 440 yards.
Thirty five laps is equal to a mile in a fifteen yard swimming pool. The time to complete these laps may vary.
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.
22 laps in a 25 yard pool is equal to 1/3 mile. In competitive swimming, 66 laps or 1650 yds. is what is considered a mile. If swimming a 50 meter pool, 1,500 meters or 30 laps is a mile.
.75k = 820.209974 yards. If you are swimming a 25 yard pool: A lap (technically defined as ONE length of a pool not two): 32.8 laps is the answer. So if you're swimming a sprint tri, swim 33 laps.
I, being a Water Safety Survival Instructor Trainer, would swim 4.5 laps if it was a timed event. Because 9 lengths are going to be a little less than 8 yards to short. 5 laps giving you 10 lengths will put you swimming 546.81 yards. So that is what this JARHEAD would advise. An Olympic size pool is 50m (54.68 yards) long so 9.14 laps would equal 500yards.
500 yards is 20 laps
20 laps
1.5 kilometers = 1 640.41995 yards 1640/50 yards per lap = 13.8
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.
1 mile = 1609 metres2.4 miles = 3861 metres1 length of a standard swimming pool = 25 metres, so 3861/25= 154.4 so if you swim 155 lengths then you have swum the full distance.
500 meters = 546.81 yards = 21.87 lengths of 25 yards each
