Does swimming 1km every night of the week make you fit?
Swimming 1km every night can contribute significantly to your overall fitness, as it provides a full-body workout, improves cardiovascular health, and builds muscle strength. However, overall fitness also depends on factors like nutrition, rest, and incorporating variety in your workout routine. It's important to listen to your body and avoid overtraining. For optimal results, consider balancing swimming with other forms of exercise and proper recovery.
Is a lap in a pool down and back?
I am not totally sure but in a normal pool it can mean just up or up and back. To find out, ask how many metres you have to swim and then estimate.
What are the purpose of bubbling in swimming?
Bubbling in swimming refers to exhaling air through your nose while under water. This takes place after you have taken a breath above water and then placed your face beneath the surface to continue swimming. It helps to regulate your breathing patterns under the water.
One length is one lap. Webster's II New College Dictionary gives this definition in regard to swimming pools: "2.b. One complete length of a straight course, as in a swimming pool."
I think the confusion comes from a swimmer being "lapped", which is a different term and has a different definition. As a competitive swimmer in summer, high school, and college, we counted 1 length as 1 lap no matter how long the pool, and never talked about "lengths of the pool" at all. My lap counters always counted down from 20 for the 500 and from 64 for the mile (in 25m pools). In the Olympics the 50m is one lap. But, the definition of a lap is not linked to any particular measurement; when you turn around, you are swimming a new lap.
Perhaps we can do away with the confusion by just talking about yardage/meters instead which is how most competitive swimmers talk about how far they swam.
Some people think that 2 lengths of the pool is a lap -- that is from start to the end of the pool and back (seems to make sense, right?), however, according to the rules of the Olympic games, a lap is one length of a pool. This is how competitive high school and college swimmers count laps, as well. In track a lap is one complete distance of the length of track. It's the same in swimming; one length of the pool is one lap.
What are the biomechanical principles applied in swimming?
Aerodynamics is essentially how efficient something can move through the air. If an object is MORE aerodynamic, then it will travel with less resistance, and vice versa.
The same applies for water, if you try to push a large flat object through water, it will encounter resistance and be difficult to move. For example, the palm of your hand with the fingers closed.
Because each force has an equal opposite, you push the water with your hand and it pushes back, propelling you forward and the water backwards.
This is less efficient if you try it with your hand pointing sideways. Why? It is more aerodynamic that way.
How many laps do you have to swim to swim 1 mile?
It depends in the standard of the simming race, for Olympic or World Championships then the pool has to have 10 lanes however only the middle 8 are used.
For lesser competitions it depends on how many lanes the pool has, usually a minimum of 6 however for smaller and older pools which are very rarely used there may be 4 or 5 lanes

It's easy to calculate how many laps to a mile. Just ask someone who's working there if the pool is 100 meters or 100 yards. One lap is always down and back. If the pool is in yards it's almost 9 laps, if its meters it's closer to 8 laps. Happy swimming!

What are the Phases of the arm cycle in any stroke?
There is the extension phase where you reach out as far as possible. Then the catch phase is next its where you initially catch the water then it leads right into the actual pull phase where the water is thrust behind you. which leads directly into the recovery phase of the stroke where the arm moves back to catch more water and start the cycle again.
