pool laps

Back-and-forth exercise

Pool laps are lengths of a swimming pool traversed as a unit of exercise or training.

Swimmers count laps to measure distance and track workouts: I swam thirty laps this morning.

A lap typically means swimming from one end to the other, though some count a round trip as one lap.

The phrase usually appears with verbs like swim, do, or complete.
