How many laps in a olympic pool equals 500 yards?

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.

This is no answer to the question. What this person is looking for can be found at some swimming pool retail stores (but very few). Long ago, a series of long (16 foot) soft plastic tubing with "wear rings" were used to "sweep" swimming pool surfaces while the pump was running. Usually, 7 to 10 "whips" were placed in a series around the upper pool area. They were attached to the wall by a special, plastic, 3/4" threaded fitting. The cost is 2 to 5 dollars each. One can make their own by purchasing a 3/4" PVC threaded plug and drill the appropriate size hole in the middle. We have a hundred of them, if someone really needs them.
