"Pool" without the article is a game played on a table with pockets in the corners. The player strikes a white ball with a long stick or cue, and the white ball strikes another ball or balls with the aim of causing the right ball or balls to go into one of the pockets.

"A pool", with the article, is a small body of standing water, natural or artificial. A pool artificially created to swim in is a swimming pool. The verb "to pool" means to pour together, as in the phrase "to pool your resources." When a group of people put their resources together the result is called a pool. For example if a group of people put their automotive resources together so that a different person every day drives the whole group, it is called a "car pool". Gambling games in which everyone adds to a pot which is then won by one of the contributors are also often called pools.

What is lap swim?

One length is one lap. Webster's II New College Dictionary gives this definition in regard to swimming pools: "2.b. One complete length of a straight course, as in a swimming pool."I think the confusion comes from a swimmer being "lapped", which is a different term and has a different definition. As a competitive swimmer in summer, high school, and college, we counted 1 length as 1 lap no matter how long the pool, and never talked about "lengths of the pool" at all. My lap counters always counted down from 20 for the 500 and from 64 for the mile (in 25m pools). In the Olympics the 50m is one lap. But, the definition of a lap is not linked to any particular measurement; when you turn around, you are swimming a new lap.Perhaps we can do away with the confusion by just talking about yardage/meters instead which is how most competitive swimmers talk about how far they swam.Some people think that 2 lengths of the pool is a lap -- that is from start to the end of the pool and back (seems to make sense, right?), however, according to the rules of the Olympic games, a lap is one length of a pool. This is how competitive high school and college swimmers count laps, as well. In track a lap is one complete distance of the length of track. It's the same in swimming; one length of the pool is one lap.
