Why does Apple Watch count 'Laps' instead of 'Lengths' for swimming?

Why does the Watch (Series 10) say that it is counting "Laps" when it is counting "Lengths"? Any swimmer and Alexa and Siri all agree that two Lengths = one Lap. Step it up a bit, engineers.

Apple Watch SE undercounting swim distance Whenever I finish an indoor swim workout, my Apple Watch shows the correct distance when I pause at the end of the workout but after I have stopped the workout, it undercounts by 1 yard. For example if I swim 50 x 30 yards, the watch shows 1500 yards when I pause but after I stop the workout, it shows 1499. This happens whatever the distance. If I look at the Fitness app it shows the Auto Sets as undercounting by one yard but the splits show complete distances of 100 yard multiples.

Why does Apple not know that when swimming a length and a lap are not the same thing? A lap is 2 lengths (up Why can’t Apple figure out that a lap is not a length when swimming. Every other fitness app for swimming knows this. When I swim laps after entering a 25 yard length, the watch records that I swam 2 laps. I’ve also had it record one lap and 25 yards. It has recorded two laps (when I swam one) and the distance was 25 yards. This is unacceptable. I can just put a different app on the watch & phone, but that should never be needed. I swam 25 laps today. (1250 yards). That’s around 3/4 of a mile. My watch said I swam 750 yards. It is useless for swimming compared to my 8 year old Fitbit that even let my pick the pool I was swimming. It knew the length and recorded my distance perfectly. Y

Apple Watch (series 8, Watch OS 9.5.2) counts swimming laps inaccurately When I called Apple support about my watch inaccurately counting swim laps I was told that inaccuracy was to be expected and to just "live with it." Is that really true. I have been told it uses GPS to count laps and the length is dependent on the GPS lap counting. David
