Also question is, how many swimming laps is a mile?

The overly-simple answer is this: To swim 1650yards in a pool measuring 25 yards you would need to do 66lengths of the pool. In a pool measuring 50 yards you wouldneed to do 33 lengths. You can use the same calculation fora 25 meter pool (66 lengths to swim 1650 meters, or33 length of a 50 meter pool)

One may also ask, what is a swim mile? –> 1500 meters (1.5k) is the standardinternational race length (1640 yards), and Americans commonly(though inaccurately) refer to this distance as “themile.” Since we called the 1500 meter swim“the mile,” the name stuck to the 1650 yardswim, even though it is 110 yards shy of an actualmile.

Similarly one may ask, how many laps in a pool is a good workout?

To begin, commit yourself to three times a week, 30minutes per workout. Try swimming for as much of thattime as you can, and count your laps. You should be able tocover anywhere from 20 to 30 laps, at least.

How long is a swimming lap?

Some people think a “lap” is twolengths of the pool. They are wrong. In an Olympic-size 50-meterpool, one lap is 50 meters. In an American short-course25-yard pool, a lap is 25 yards.
