    I think one length of the pool is defined as a lap

    2 b. One complete length of a straight course, as of a swimming pool.

    yes, but in competition the shortest distance for the sprint events is 50 meters so you have to do 2 laps in the typically sized pool.

    2 lenghts = a lap. if you have ever swam competitively, the offical will state the distance of the race and tell everyone how many lengths it equates. 50 meter race typically is two 25m lengths of the pool.

    I swam competitively for 12 years. A lap is a lap regardless of the length. You just have to swim two laps of a small pool to equal the shortest distance of competition.

    The pool I swam at this morning had a sign that said 2 laps = 50 meters = 1 olympic lap
