20, if you're swimming in a 25 yard pool. That's also 10 laps.

in high school swimming the 500 yard race is almost always the longest race of the meet. while there are a few kids that specialize in the long distance races, the 500 has become synonymous with getting shafted by the coach on some teams. it covers 20 lengths, and requires the swimmer to have a lap counter at the far end of the pool.

Gesh, it depends on how long the pool is!!!!
Divide 500 by the length of the pool in yards.
