In Olympic and International competition, the distances are in meters (usually either 25 "short course" or 50 meter "long course" pools). A mile is 1609 meters. 1650 is the first 50 meter multiple over a mile, so that's the distance used for the race. The races are all the same digit of measurement (100, 200, 400, 800, 1650) regardless of yards or meters.
A true "olympic size pool" measures 50 meters long and 25 meters wide (this way, the pool can be either short course or long course depending on how the lane lines are strung) which is as big as you're probably ever gonna see. However, the term "Olympic sized" seems to be thrown around a lot and can generally mean any pool big enough to do laps in (which is 25 yards (short course) in length minimal). So when asking how big a pool is one should probably find out if it's long or short course and yards or meters.

How many yards in a swimming mile?
The same amount in a regular mile, that is 1760 yards. In competitive swimming, the race commonly known as the mile is the 1650. This is because the event was created based on 50 meter pools. 1 mile is equal to 1609 meters or 1760 yards. Thus "the mile" is actually 90 yards short of an actual mile.
In a 25 meter swimming pool how many lengths do you have to swim to constitute a mile?
in a swim meet a mile is considered 1650yds and that is 66 lengths. Actually 1650 meters ~ 1 mile, not 1650 yards. There are 5280 feet in a mile, and 3 feet in a yard. 5280/3 = 1760 yards per mile. 25 yards per length, then 1760/25 = 70.4 lengths per mile. So in a 25 meter pool 66 legths = 1 mile. In a 25 yard pool 70.4 lengths = 1 mile.

How many lengthsin a pool equal a mile?
An Olympic-sized pool is 50 meters long by 25 meters wide and runs to a depth of 2.0 meters. A mile is 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards, which is the same as 1,609.344 meters.1600 meters would require 32 lengths of the pool. To get to a full mile, an additional 9.344 meters would be required.AnswerThe above is true, technically. However, if you are asking how many lengths the Olympic event "the mile" is, it's actually 30, because it's the 1500. No offense intended but "technically" and in all actuality there is no swimming event currently in the Olympics called "the mile" but instead there is the 1500 meter freestyle mens (refer to Swimming | Olympic Sport | London 2012 Summer Olympics| 1500m freestyle men - Olympic.org )AnswerThese are both true, but, if you're swimming in a 25 yard pool it's 66 laps- that's a 1650. When you're swimming in a 50 meter pool, like in the olympics, it's just a little bit over 30 laps if you want to be exact, but the swimmers only swim 30 laps.
