Traditional lap pools are about 10 feet wide, though widths between 8 and 10 feet are common. (In competition pools, swim lanes are 2.5 meters wide, or about 8.2 feet.) You don't want to go too narrow with a lap pool.
The number of neurons in the brain varies dramatically from species to species. One estimate (published in 1988) puts the human brain at about 100 billion (10 11) neurons and 100 trillion (10 14) synapses.
How many nerve Cells - neurons - are in the human brain? Estimates from various sources range from 150 billion to 250 billion neurons. There are upwards of 3 trillion Cells in an average sized person.
