lap and length

[Indigo Som]

My email seems to be handling the digests oddly, so I'm not sure if I
actually read what everyone said about laps & lengths, but:
I also equate length & lap, & use either of them when speaking about
how  many of them I swim. (Length seems clearer, whereas lap can be
an awful lot like the "next weekend" discussion a while back.)  What
struck me as odd in Casper was the use of "length swimming" as a set
phrase where I would use "lap swimming" instead. Like "grocery
shopping".
