How Many Laps In a Pool is a Mile?
2 comentarios
I sent an earlier comment on number of lengths in a mile … I realized your values are “closer” for a “metric mile”. A true mile is 1760 yds and a metric mile is 1500 meters. A true mile is 70.4 lengths in a 25 yd pool and 32.2 lengths in a 50 meter pool (what I wrote earlier). A metric mile is 65.6 lengths in a 25 yd pool and 30 lengths in a 50 meter pool. You gave 66 lengths for 25 yd pool which is a metric mile, but the 35.2 given for a 50 meter pool is for 1760 meters which is not any type of mile. A “metric mile” is sometimes called a “swimmer’s mile”.
Good article.
