How many laps in a pool is 500 meters?
It takes 10 laps in an 50m Olympic size swimming pool and 20 laps in a 25m long swimming pool. A lap = a length. It's confusing because on a track, a lap is an oval path around the track back to the starting point. A pool is a straight line vs an oval on a track so when you travel it's entire length, you've gone a lap.
How many laps do swimmers usually swim in a swim meet?
It depends what event you do i a swim meet. Like 1oo free, 200 free, etc. But 100,25, 50 doesn't man 50 laps or whatever,it means yards or meters. See, each lap is a 25 yard or meter lap. So 100 is 4 laps. Thanks :)
