How many laps equal a mile in a 20' X 40' swimming pool?

Answer 1

40 ft = 12.19 meters, so 33 lengths required, (actually 402.3 m). We always used to call them lengths, now people seem to say laps. To my mind a lap is a turn around a circuit, as in motor racing, however use of words does change over time. What do you call a motor racing lap though, to distinguish it from a length?

Answer 2

To determine the number of laps that equal a mile in a 20' x 40' swimming pool, we first need to calculate the pool's total length. The perimeter of the pool is 2(20' + 40') = 120 feet. Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, we divide 5,280 by 120 to get 44. Thus, you would need to swim 44 laps in a 20' x 40' pool to complete a mile.

Answer 3

5280 feet in a mile divided by 40 feet length of pool

132 laps

Answer 4

In a 25 meter long pool it's 16 laps and in a 50 meter pool it's 8 laps

Answer 5

400 metres = 1312.336 ft. divided by a 234 ft. perimeter of the pool = 5.608273 laps around the perimeter of the pool.

Answer 6

(1609.3 meters/mile) / (30 meters/Pool Length) = 53.64 Pool Lengths OR 26.82 Laps

Answer 7

1 foot = 0.3048 meter
