I started up swimming at 50 to get a cardiovascular workout and also to not put my joints at risk... a swim coach told me that 30 mins in the pool works off far more calories than a 'typical' 1 hour gym workout. I started at 37mins to do 50x25M (1250M) and that was 10 months ago. Not being used to it, I started with breaststroke and put in 1 freestyle length every 2 or 3. It took about 4 months to get the freestyle breathing efficient... head turn alternately every 3 strokes. Sounds odd but it was a struggle to avoid disrupting the free and rhythmic natural breathing flow. Over the months of going 1-3 times a week, my times got better and the proportion of freestyle lengths increased. At 4 months I started to complete the whole 1250M freestyle... and although tiring, freestyle being the faster stroke, my times got better. I got to around 35 mins for a long time (I didn't bother counting the lengths... just did 35 minutes). Then at about 6 months in I counted the lengths and found I was doing about 63-65 lengths. Good progress. In the last few months I invested in a speedo aquacoach watch which counts the laps automatically... and my times have got better and better.... I'm really beginning to feel I am cutting through the water now (rather than the 'brick going sideways' when I started). My latest time was 26'43" last week. I'm still not that fast and am amazed by the many who leave me for dead and lap me... but my own progress and fitness has made me really much fitter and healthier...
I hope this helps you to continue and progress to whatever goals you have set in life!

How long would it take you to swim across lake that is 900 meters if you swim at 1.5 m sec?
Time = Distance/Speed = 900/1.5 = 600 seconds = 10 minutes. You would have to be a pretty good club swimmer to maintain that speed for that distance.
How do you find the average velocity in ms of a bicycle that starts 150 meters north of town and is 1200 meters north of town in 30.0 minutes?
You divide the distance traveled by the time.
What is the average velocity of a car in meters per second that covers 80 km in 2 hours?
Divide the distance by the time. That will give you the speed in kilometers/hour. Then divide that by 3.6 to convert to meters/second.
How long would it take to walk 25 meters?
The time it takes to walk 25 meters would depend on the individual's walking speed. On average, a person walks at a speed of about 1.4 meters per second, so it would take approximately 17.9 seconds to walk 25 meters. Factors such as terrain, incline, and physical condition can also affect the time it takes to cover this distance.
How many times can 100 go into 1250?
Well, honey, if you want to get technical, 100 can go into 1250 a grand total of 12.5 times. But since you can't really have half a time, the answer is actually 12 times with a remainder of 50. Math can be a real party pooper sometimes, can't it?
How long would it take if you traveled 1250 km at an average speed of 65 km?
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that speed=distance/time time=1250/65=19.23 hours
What is the average time for 1600 meter swim?
1600 is not a recognised swimming event. 1500m is and world class times are just under 15 minutes, so 1600 meters would be about 16 miutes
What is the average speed to swim 25 meters?
This depends on a lot of factors including sex, amount of training and how fit one is. A good time for a fit, competetive woman swimmer is 15 seconds. Men around 12. For the average person, it would, of course, take longer.
How do you convert swim times from meters to yards?
To convert swim times from meters to yards, you can use the conversion factor of 1.0936 (1 meter is approximately equal to 1.0936 yards). Simply multiply the swim time in meters by this conversion factor to get the equivalent time in yards. For example, if a swimmer completes a 100m race in 1 minute, the equivalent time in yards would be approximately 1 minute and 5.47 seconds (1 minute * 1.0936).
You swim for 2 hours if you swim 100 km what is your average speed?
Average speed = total distance divided by total time (100 km) divided by 2 hours = average speed = 50km/h.
Is 15 seconds good for a 12 year old to swim front crawl 25 meters and around 35 secs for 50 meters same stroke?
That is pretty good for a 12 year old, but the average 50 free time is probably around a 30 or even a 29
What is the average time taken to swim 1m?
This all depends on age and what shape you are in. A good time is 20 minutes.
What is the best time for a 50 freestyle in swim ming in a meters pool?
Between 11 PM and 4 AM, when it's not too crowded.
What is a runners average speed if he runs 100 meters in 15 seconds?
To calculate the runner's average speed, you would use the formula: speed = distance ÷ time. In this case, the distance is 100 meters and the time is 15 seconds. Therefore, the average speed of the runner would be 100 meters ÷ 15 seconds = 6.67 meters per second.
What is the average speed of a 100 meters in 55 seconds?
To calculate average speed, you would use the formula: average speed = total distance / total time. In this case, the total distance is 100 meters and the total time is 55 seconds. Therefore, the average speed would be 100 meters / 55 seconds = 1.82 meters per second.
What is Average time 1 mile swim?
I swam the mile yesterday in 41:09. I belong to a swim club and am in grade 5, age10
