it varies on your training skills and how your body develops im on the swim team and theres a 14 year old girl that went to state, it truly depends on how you work and if the good lord gave you the body for it.

Looking at Olympic swimmers to judge where the best people are, the peak performance of men and women differs a bit.

Men, due to the significant amount of additional muscle growth that occurs in the late teens and early twenties, find they're peak swimming years are roughly 21-28. that is, before 21, men will find that they can make substantial year-on-year improvements in speed, while at 21-28 they peak and can only make very small year-to-year improvements, then only decline after 30 as muscle mass decreases.

Women, on the other hand, have two things working in opposition: the teenage years encompass a significant physical growth period, but increased hormonal influence decreases strength:weight ratios. Thus, top women performers usually peak in their mid-to-late teens, and can hold that until their mid-twenties at best. Thus, for women, they tend to peak at 17-24 or so.

Note, of course, these are generalizations, and there are always exceptions. But, for virtually everyone, their best speeds come during their college years (and shortly afterwards).

Yes. She competes for Auburn University, and has won a Silver and Bronze medal for swimming, in the 2004 Olympics. These are Zimbabwe's 2nd and 3rd medals ever. The first was for field hockey, in 1980 (a boycotted Olympics). Fambai zhakanaka! Her events were: 100-meter Backstroke (SILVER) 200-meter Individual Medley (BRONZE) Tatenda! Personal: Full name is Kirsty Leigh Coventry ... Parents are Rob and Lyn Coventry ... Born Sept. 16, 1983 ... Hometown is Harare, Zimbabwe ... First Zimbabwe swimmer to win an Olympic Medal... Kirsty Coventry hopes the swimming medals she won for Zimbabwe at the Olympic Games will lift people's spirits in a country engulfed in political and economic chaos. Don't forget, there's still the 200-meter backstroke (on August 20), where she is also a medal contender! Definitely she is a represantative of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a multi - racial Country and Kirsty is a native of Zimbabwe. She is just studying in the USA but that does not make her an American. People should appreaciate the good from our nation and avoid treating every good thing from Zimbabwe in negative terms. Is Gatlin competing from America? Absolutely. VIVA Zimbabwe Long Live our motherland - VIVA Kirsty

a barracuda pike is a submerged pike position at 45 degrees or less. If you don't know synchro terminology it means that your legs are perpendicular to the surface of the water with legs straight and toes just under the surface. Your body should be bent up towards your legs as far as possible with the goal to get your chest to your knees and your hands should be sculling just behind your heels. The vertical alingment (what should be straight up and down) is toes, ankles, knees, hips.

The definition of an Olympic size swimming pool is 10 lanes each 2.5 meters wide, however to prevent the outside lanes being disadvantaged by having to compete with the waves bouncing off the sides of the pool only the middle 8 lanes are ever used.

A common misconception is for people refer to a 20 x 40' residential pool as an Olympic pool. It is not an Olympic pool size pool and nowhere near it. The 20 x 40' pool would fit several times inside an Olympic.

A rough estimate would be $500,000 at the absolute minimum. A figure closer to $1,000,000 (or even several times higher) would not be unreasonable depending upon the requirements for the overall facility (lockers, showers, reception area, etc...)

Pools of this size and complexity are a significant construction undertaking.

By the way it's 50m = 164.042 feet X 25m = 82.02 feet

___

A junior olympic, either 25 yards (SCY) or 25 meters (SCM), would probably be a more realistic option for a residential pool. Whether you decide on a short course or long course pool, there's no need to make the pool several lanes wide. Much of the above cost assumes you want an 8 lane pool. For a residential lap pool that would be insane!

A 25-meter two-lane pool should cost no more than $50k. A 50-meter two lane pool should cost no more than $100-150k.

No matter what stroke you do, you will be getting great exercise, but it's important to vary your workouts and to challenge yourself - avoid sticking to slow lap swimming, or you wont burn much at all!. Try to swim 3-4+ times a week and eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your muscles (e.g. pancakes for brekky, a sandwich for lunch and pasta for dinner).

Try and swim 1-3km per session.

Also, the more you move your body and work hard, the more you will burn. However, it is important to keep good technique with each of your strokes.
