Best Answer

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.
