500 meters = 546.81 yards = 21.87 lengths of 25 yards each
It would depend on the pool length, In Internationally sanctioned events the pool length is 50 meters. The USA is the only country that holds or has pools that are measured in yards, either 25 or 50. In a 25 yard pool.. 12 laps. In a 50 yard pool, 6 laps.
66. 1650 yards is a mile. 500 is 20 laps. 100 is 40. 1650 is 66 ;)
since 1 meter is equal to 1.094 yards, then one lap (one direction) in a 25 meter pool is really 27.35 yards. So then 500 yards at 27.35 yards a lap, you would need to complete a little more than 18 and a quarter laps (18.2815 to be more accurate).
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.
22 lengths
You have to swim 20 laps of the pool in a 500 yard race. One lap is considered one length of the pool, or 25 yards. In the 500, you are allowed a counter. The counter sits at the far end of the pool and shows you how many laps you have swum. The counter will show up to the number 17, then on the 19th lap, he or she will show a red sign.
1 mile = 1609 metres2.4 miles = 3861 metres1 length of a standard swimming pool = 25 metres, so 3861/25= 154.4 so if you swim 155 lengths then you have swum the full distance.
To determine how many times you need to run around a track to equal 500 yards, you first need to know the length of the track. A standard track is 400 meters, which is approximately 437.4 yards. To cover 500 yards, you would need to run approximately 1.14 laps around a standard track.
Swimming does burn calories at a rate of about 3 calories a mile per pound of bodyweight. If you weigh 150 lbs. and it takes you 30 minutes to swim one mile (1,760 yards or 1,609 meters), then you will be using about 900 calories in one hour. However, many swimmers do not swim that quickly, and many cannot swim for that distance or duration.
I've never seen a 20 meter pool. just 25's and 50's. But, in a 20 it would be 250, in a 25 it is 200, and in a 50 it is 100.
Okay...i know that when i go to swim practice, i swim for a good hour and a half. i know that while im there(swimming constantly)i burn about 1200 calories. So, it doesnt matter how many laps you swim; its how long and how intense. Your very welcome, Grace Kelly Katz5..... well if you want laps, you would have to swim 10-12 laps; there and back counting as one lap. So if you did that you would burn 500 calories, and if you were in a 25 meter pool you would have to swim about 20 laps; there and back counting as one.
