We're sweating just thinking about it. 😅 Tokyo2020
. While a mile long swim is nothing out of the ordinary for these athletes, it'll be a different story for fans tuning in for the first time. You might be wondering, how many laps is 1,500 meters of swimming, anyway?, which is 50 meters in length, athletes will need to swim 30 laps to complete the mile swim. As someone who has competitively swam a long distance race before, I can assure you this event is anything but a sprint.
Definitely keep your eyes on the TV between those last two laps, though. At the sound of the official's bell, you'll know the lead swimmer is flip turning into the final stretch of their race. Whoever clinches the gold will make Olympic history, and that's something you won't want to miss. Oh, and just be thankful this isn't happening in a traditional 25-yard pool or else you'd really be in for the long haul: a grand total of 66 laps.
