Using the lap button for swimming laps using 5S

I'm relatively new to swimming laps so I know that my distances are off due to inconsistent strokes and my turns.  So I decided to use the lap button to manually record every two lengths of the pool, but I think I'm doing something wrong.  It's not recording all my laps.  So, I have a couple of questions that may clear up the issue.

-When looking at the watch history, it says Intervals.  Are they using intervals and laps interchangeably?

-Is the lap button used for both rest and laps?  So do I have to hit it twice to start the next lap?

Is there a limit to the number of laps I do in a session?

Thank you for any assistance.  It's much appreciated.
