The Time I Swam a Mile in a Swimming Pool
A mile. By definition it s an English unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, 1760 yards and I don t know how many perimeter laps inside a swimming pool.
The reason I say I don t know is because in the summer of 1969 while I was at Boy Scout camp at the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, just outside of Osceola, I swam the necessary laps inside a swimming pool to get my certification stating that I had swam a mile. (I also don t remember if there was a merit badge that was included or not.)
