1 meter =3.281ft =1.093667yd
(25m)(1.093667yd/m)=27.3417yd (rounded)
If a lap is a single length of the pool, then (500yd)/(27.3417yd/length)=10.97, essentially ll lengths. If a lap is up and down (2 lengths) then half as many or 5.5 laps.
The original above confuses me. Unless I am figuring wrong- (500yd)/(27.3417yd/length)=18.28, You would need to swim at least 18 lengths of the pool in order to swim 500yds.
The answer depends on how long each lap is.
A mile is 1760 yards. A lap of a 25 yard pool is 50 yards. So number of laps = 1760/50 = 35.2
1968.5 yards
500 meters = 546.81 yards = 21.87 lengths of 25 yards each
1640.42

In a 25-yard pool, 40 lengths (or 20 laps) equals 1000 yards.
If this helps, each lap ( there and back is 50 meters ). 440 yards is 402.336 meters. 402.336 divided by 50 is 8.04 laps. 440 yards = 8.04 laps. ( there and back ) Hope this helps! :D
There are 36 laps in a 25-yard pool to make a mile. Each lap is 25 yards, and a mile is 1760 yards. So, 1760 yards divided by 25 yards equals 70.4 laps. Since you can't have a fraction of a lap, you would round down to 70 laps, and you would then have swum one mile.
2500 m = 1.55342 mi actually 100laps in a 25meter pool = 5000 meters. = 3.10684 mi. lap = 2 lengths (25meter)
500 yards is 20 laps
20 laps
It depends on the size of the swimming pools. If the pool is small, you need to swim many laps to get to 1/4 mile. 1/4 mile is 440 yards.
It appears there is a different opinion on this subject. The answer you get all depends on who you ask. There are 1760 yards in a mile. In a 25 yard pool (one length), 50 yards (2 lengths) equals one lap. When you divide 1760 yards by 50 yards that equals 35.2 laps. Some like to round down and insist 35 laps = one mile, but there are others that like to round up and insist 36 laps = one mile. In a 500 yard swim race, a lap is equal to 25 yards. There are 20 laps in the race, or if a lap is considered to be 50 yards as shown above then there would be 10 laps in the race. 1760 yards in a mile divided by 500 yards = 3.52. If you take 3.52 and multiply it by 10 laps that also = 35.2. So, I guess if you want to go that extra lap you could do 36, or compromise and do 35 laps and then one 25 yard length. I would say that is a fair compromise to the question of 1 mile being equal to 35 or 36 laps. If however you are asking about a running track the answer is 4 laps for a standard 400m (440 yard) and 8 laps (220 yards) for a standard indoor trackIt depends on the length of the lap.Modern running laps are 400 meters, and in that case one mile is:(1 mile) * (1609.344 meters / mile) / (400 meters / lap) = 4.02336 laps.
".333/ divided by 1 mile (1760 yards) a round trip lap is around 50 yards 35.2 round trip laps equal 1 mile. .333 is a yard, or 3 feet." Ummm, wow. That answer defies belief. The real answer is 3 laps! 3 laps times .333 miles = .999 miles or essentially 1 mile.

I, being a Water Safety Survival Instructor Trainer, would swim 4.5 laps if it was a timed event. Because 9 lengths are going to be a little less than 8 yards to short. 5 laps giving you 10 lengths will put you swimming 546.81 yards. So that is what this JARHEAD would advise. An Olympic size pool is 50m (54.68 yards) long so 9.14 laps would equal 500yards.
