Why is swimming a good activity?

I swim for excersise all the time. It really keeps you in shape. My husband is a scientist and studies health. His studies showed that 80% of Americans that swim for excersise at least once a week have a chance of living longer. It keeps the bones healthy but it doesn't always make you sore. It's also good for the heart. The thing that is good about swimming, especially for older people with weaker bones, is that it isn't hard on anything. Running is hard on your knees and sometimes may grind together if you're old or unhealthy. Swimming isn't like that. That is why i swim alot to keep in shape. It also used lots of muscles, so you burns lots of calories.

How many laps in 25 yard pool equal one half mile?

Well, presuming that you equate a "lap" with "one length of the pool", a mile is 1760 yards, which means that you would have to swim 70.4 laps to swim a mile.

Thus, a one-half mile is equal to 35.2 laps or, more practically speaking, 35 laps plus 5 more yards.

However, in competitive swimming, the 1650 Yard Freestyle and 1500 Meter Freestyle races are colloquially referred to as "the mile."

The 1650 Yard Freestyle is only swum in swim meets that take place in non-metric, 25 yard pools. (There is no 1500 Freestyle in meets taking place in these yard-denominated pools.) The 1650 Yard Freestyle is 66 laps. One half of that race is 825 yards, which is 33 laps.

The 1500 Meter Freestyle is only swum in meets that take place in pools denominated in meters (pools of either 25 meters or 50 meters in length). (There is no 1650 Freestyle in meets taking place in these meters-denominated pools.) In at 25-meter pool, the 1500 Meter Freestyle is 60 laps, and one-half of it (750 meters) is 30 laps. In a 50 meter pool (i.e. an Olympic-sized pool), the 1500 Meter Freestyle is 30 laps, and one-half of it is 15 laps.

In Ground Swimming Pool Installation?

I assume that you are shopping for a pool and are looking at an above ground. I have had three above ground pools. No nothing was wrong with them. We just keep moving. To answer the question: NO, the uprights are not buried. They are not even dug in to the ground. Make sure you pay a professional to set it up, it's money well spent. The ground should be leveled, then a stabilizer ring is put down in the shape of your pool. Then the uprights are placed in that ring. The uprights really do nothing more than join the top and bottom rails of the pool and give a little stability to the wall.

Enjoy.
