1 meter = 1.0936133 Yards
25 Meters = 27.3403325 YardsReally not much difference there.....
Oh, I beg to differ.... There may not be a huge time or effort difference on a SINGLE lap, but repeat those laps over and over... and the time difference, as well as the amount of effort that you expend, will become noticeably different!
After 20 laps, for example:
25 yard pool --> 500 yards
25 meter pool --> 500 meters = 546.8 yards
So swimming 20 laps in a 25m pool is getting pretty close to doing 22 laps in a 25yard pool.
And to swim one mile, you'd have to do a far different number of laps:
25 yard pool --> 70.4 laps
25 meter pool --> 64.4 laps
