How We Count a Swim Mile
When it comes to swimming, a “mile” can mean two different things—and both are correct! To keep things flexible, we’re giving you two options for tracking your laps:
Competitive Swim Mile (1,650 yards)
Commonly used in swim meets and training programs.
Equals 66 lengths (33 laps) in a 25-yard pool.
Traditional Mile (1,760 yards)
Matches the land mile.
Equals 72 lengths (36 laps) in a 25-yard pool.
You may choose either distance for your tracking—just stay consistent throughout the challenge!
