To determine how many laps make a mile in a 20-foot by 40-foot pool, we need to calculate the distance of one lap. The distance around the perimeter of the pool is 20 + 20 + 40 + 40 = 120 feet. Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, we divide 5,280 by 120 to find that approximately 44 laps make a mile in this pool.
500 meters = 546.81 yards = 21.87 lengths of 25 yards each
89.4 laps (approx).
A mile is 1760 yards. A lap of a 25 yard pool is 50 yards. So number of laps = 1760/50 = 35.2
The answer depends on the pool length. Most pools, designed for competitive events are 50 metres and that would mean 4.57 laps. The US is just about the only country in the world that has 50 yard competitive pools and there it would be 5 laps.
