HOW MANY LENGTHS TO A MILE?

Q: How many lengths of the pool equals a mile?
A: A mile is 1,760 yards. If you're swimming in a 25 yard pool, you'll need to swim 70 lengths to equal a mile. But a swimming mile is 1,650 yards, or 66 lengths, which is equivalent to the 1500-meter distance in Olympic distance triathlons.
