What is a human's average swimming speed?

Answer 1

speed is not really important in swimming unless you are in a competition. As long as you can swim you do not really need to concentrate on how fast you are going but your speed will progress if you keep training. If you cannot swim then stay in shallow water and keep trying to learn how to swim.

Answer 2

It is the same as running speed, how fast you can go in the water

Answer 3

to win your events :P

you can never depend on skill alone, though it helps

Answer 4

You need speed for swimming so then you can win the race or you can rescue someone drowning or have hurt themselves really fast so they won't get too ill.

Answer 5

Running is faster. You can run a mile in about 5-8 minutes. It takes about 20 minutes to swim a fast mile.

Answer 6

2 Metres per second
