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!
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.
You divide the distance traveled by the time.
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.
2.1
15 km/h because you divide distance by time ;) When converted to other units, it's equivalent to: -- 250 meters per minute -- 41/6 meters per second
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that speed=distance/time time=1250/65=19.23 hours
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
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.
Multiply the metres per unit time by 1.0936 to get yards per unit time.
Average speed = total distance divided by total time (100 km) divided by 2 hours = average speed = 50km/h.
That is pretty good for a 12 year old, but the average 50 free time is probably around a 30 or even a 29
This all depends on age and what shape you are in. A good time is 20 minutes.
Between 11 PM and 4 AM, when it's not too crowded.
I swam the mile yesterday in 41:09. I belong to a swim club and am in grade 5, age10
65sec
Average speed = Distance divided by time taken and the unit is meters per second (written m/s), so remember to convert distance to meters and time to seconds if it not already given to you as these.
To get average speed, divide distance travelled by the time. The answer will be in meters/second. If you want to have your result in km/hour, multiply the number of meters/second by 3.6.
