How Many Laps Equal a Mile in a 25-Yard Pool?

Swimmers can keep track of the number of laps they have completed by using swimming lap counters or other counting techniques. Some swimmers use scuba diving slates, wristwatch split buttons, ring-type lap counters or waterproof golf stroke counters to track their progress. Other popular counting techniques include asking a coach or second person to track lap numbers, relying on memory and estimating distance based on pace.
