How many laps is 1500 meters in a 25 meter pool?
In a standard 25 meter pool, 1500 meters is equal to 60 laps.
How many laps is 1500 meters in a 50 meter pool?
In order to figure out how many laps you will need to swim in order to swim 1500 meters, you need to first know two things: the length of the pool and the distance you are swimming.
Assuming you are swimming in a 50 meter pool, it would take you 30 laps to swim 1500 meters.
