Now I *did* spot this myself, but didn't say anything since it is in fact perfectly possible to swim half a length or .25 of a length or...

Especially when the little dears are messing about by jumping in on top of people who are swimming lengths

Well yes. But my reasoning then continued that because</> it's difficult (actually, impossible) to swim an exact integer number of lengths, ewx was treating lengths as quanta for the purpose of the comment, hence 'fewer' would be technically more precise.
