of course you’re right mike. this time it truly was a typo. it should have said 2400 meters in a 1.5 miles and that’s about 48 laps of a 50 meter olympic pool. I usually swim 50 laps for good measure. a certain handsome internist was talking to me while I was typing. I’d have gotten angry at him but I’m sorta crazy nuts about the guy. lol.
thanks mike for the helpful correction. sorry about the typo paul. cheers guys!

Mile and a half would be about 2400.

I listen to music while I swim...it helps me maintain a rhythm. It’s almost like meditation for me...the controlled breathing and repetitive motions. I get into a groove and it’s amazing how the time just flies by. sometimes I’ll vary my strokes but most of the laps I swim free style. when I was on the water polo team the coach had these 4” wide heavy black rubber bands that he’d make us put around our ankles so that we couldn’t kick. we’d have to swim a mile w/ those damn rubber bands. it really built upper body strength. try swimming a few laps with your ankles crossed sometime. pull your weight through the water only using your arms. it’s lots of fun...NOT! cheers! -----Original Message----- From: John Jackson Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 10:38 PM To: omnisport Subject: [omnisport:16643] Re: Swimming Men Lee, how many laps is 1.5 miles?
