How many laps are in a mile??
- Length = One end of the pool to other is 25 yards
- Lap = Down and back is 50 yards
- 1 mile = 1,650 yards = Approximately 66 lengths or 33 laps
(We use a competitive mile, which is slightly less than an accurate mile. Comes down to meters vs yards)
How can you get to 100 miles?? It’s as easy as:
- 2 miles a week equals 100 miles in about 50 weeks
- 3 miles a week equals 100 miles in about 33 weeks
- 1 mile a day, 5 days a week, equals 100 miles in 20 weeks
