750, so that's 15 lenghts, (i dont think its a true 1/2 mile, but I think its the closest, the mile is 1500 but I think that is not exact) No worries man, swimmin is the only thing I got in the tri, good luck and have fun!!!

looks like your computing skills are as good as your converting unit skills ;-)

Yeah I always get the 1 and the 2 in .62 and 1.61 (the back and forth conversion factors accurate to 2 decimal places) mixed up, unless I actually do the 1/x calc to verify. I should know, cuz 100 km/h is 62 mph ... so forth

No, he means 32. A lap is a length.

a length is a length. a lap is a circuit...(didn't we have this discussion already?)

I'll attempt to end this thread now before it gets too embarrassing.
1/2 mile is pretty close to 800m.
So, 800 divided by 25(the length of the pool) is 32.
So 32 lengths, or 16 laps (as most people consider 2 lengths a lap)
Greg.

A half-mile (880 yards) is just over 35 length-laps of a 25 _yard_ pool, which are the most common here in the US.
I lose track of laps, but do okay counting 100's. I want to check my (slow) pace on 100's anyway, so I would swim a half mile as 9 100's.

It's Halloween. So it's kind of fitting to revisit one of the longest-running zombie equine topics in swimming.

Hey Hey- I told you guys the day would come that I could help out. That is plain and simply 32 touches of wall for our purposes. Think about it this way- we always ran on 440 yard tracks...never mind man, I am starting to get a little bit like these analyticals. Touch each wall 32 times and you are about 1/2 mile (800 yards).
Have a good night- Joe

"you mean 16 right?"
What if it is a 50 m pool? How many laps then?
Sometimes, they change the lanes so they go the short way across the pool (25 yds). Am I swimming widths instead of lengths then?
