Reality CheckThere are some religions that do not allow women to expose their arms and legs to the view of others. Until recently that has meant that they must swim in clothing. New swim wear designed to cover the skin have been brought to market and allow them to swim comfortably and without the weight and restrictions of normal clothing.How many laps will it take to swim 250 yards?

What kind of swim suit do you wear to swimming lessons?
In the US, the Memorial Day weekend normally marks the unofficial beginning to summer, and our thoughts begin to turn to beaches, pools and lakes. The dilemma is finding swimwear that both looks good and is functional for your day on the water. Shorts for water sports come in many lengths and fits, and if you're actually going in the water, this matters.
First a few rules:
- If you're slim, you'll look better in patterns. If you're on the heavy side, look for solids.
- Baggy shorts look bad, but tight shorts look worse. Find a pair that fits with a little room to spare.
- Elastic waistbands are a sign of cheap shorts. Look for shorts or trunks with a fly and laces.
- No Speedos at the beach, unless there's a number written on your arm in grease pencil.
With the basics covered, pick your activity and find your swimsuit:
Hugo Boss Men's Tahiti Om Board Short
You're SurfingDespite the fact that just about every man and boy under 35 wears them just about everywhere, board shorts actually have a purpose: to keep your leg hair from getting ripped out by your surfboard's wax. So if you surf and you don't shave your body hair, board shorts are the way to go. However, if you're going to be doing much actual swimming, you'll be better off with something that doesn't create so much drag in the water.
Well-fitting board shorts should feel loose around your legs but snug at the waist. Good shorts don't have elastic in the waist at all. The length should be short enough to stay above the knee. Shorts that fall below the knee are actually capri pants. You don't want to be the guy in the capri pants, do you?
Rvca GT Lines Trunk
You're Swimming in the Ocean or LakeIf you'll be splashing around, look for a pair of trunks. Less fabric means less drag, so swimming will be easier. In addition, trunks with a classic design or "racing stripe" will help you look much more masculine and grown up than board shorts. Finally, you'll have a better range of motion in a trunk, giving you the upper hand in the game of beach volleyball.
In fact, the trunk is making a comeback in a big way right now, and you can find them in a range of lengths. Go down to a couple inches above the knee to cover your toothpicks, or up to mid-thigh to show off the results of your workout program.
Speedo Men's Quantum Splice Jammer Bathing Suit
You're Taking Swim LessonsBelieve it or not, there is a purpose to a Speedo, other than making people on the beach laugh at you. That purpose is serious swimming. Lycra swim shorts (made by many manufacturers besides Speedo, including Nike and Reebok) are intended to be functional, and they do reduce drag significantly over a baggy board short.
But stop: don't touch that itsy-bitsy brief-style swimsuit. Instead, choose a "jammer" suit that continues down the leg, or at most (least?) a "square leg" style. Better yet might be the style called a "drag suit," which looks like the square leg suit but isn't as form-fitting as its spandex cousin.
Just remember this rule of thumb: unless you're also wearing goggles and/or a swim cap, you probably shouldn't wear a Speedo.
You're Not Getting in the WaterThe answer to this one is "it depends." Really, a trunk with a longer leg or a slim-fitting pair of board shorts ought to be fine. You can even consider a pair of light (in fabric and color) cotton or linen shorts or pants with a drawstring waist if you won't be getting them wet. Couple them with a sleeveless t-shirt and flip-flops (just remember they're for beach wear only) and you're ready for the evening's bonfire party.
If you just want to go out and get some sun, I might suggest looking for a nude beach for the fewest tan lines. Just remember to use a good sunscreen, don't fall asleep, and don't stare.
How many calories do you burn swimming 0.5 miles?
There are many variables that affect the answer. Variables such as how fast your body uses calories. I would estimate about 200-300 calories.
What is the most popular swimming stroke?
Front crawl is the fastest swimming stroke in swimming. According to world record times, at every distance in international competition, the order of swimming stroke speeds from fastest to slowest is:
1. Front crawl (commonly known as, and chosen for, freestyle)

How many laps is 2.4 miles in a meter pool?
It's amazing how many people don't know the difference between a lap and a length.
A length is down one way: 25 meters.
A lap is down and back: 50 meters.
1609.3 meters in a mile.
1609.3/50=32.186 laps of a 25m pool makes a mile.
2.4*32.186=77.25laps in 2.4 miles.
The answer is 77.25 laps of a 25 meter pool.

How warm does a lake have to be to swim in it?
If the water is below 72 degrees F, you reach a point where warmth is lost faster than can be replaced by physical exertion. Meaning, if you swim 72 long enough, you will develop hypothermia. If you swim higher temps in the lake you can get by as long as you maintain exertion. Don't forget for long swims you need to keep fueling the fire, i.e. eat some carbs or gels. If your body is out of fuel, you won't be able to avoid hypothermia either. Obviously the closer the water is to 72 degrees the more of your maximum effort you need to put out to maintain warmth. Conversely, the warmer it is the easier you can be on yourself. You could always avoid the trouble and swim with a wetsuit hood, hood and top, or full suit, depending on how cold and how long the swim. If you're cutting it close, make sure you have a boat to pick you up in case of trouble, you don't want to burn yourself out and be stuck in open water freezing to death. And always swim with a swim buddy.
What is the largest swimming pool in north America?
i once went to a swim meet in Louisville Kentucky and it was very big. it used to be a quarry but they made a swimming pool out of it.
How can you know the volume of water in a swimming pool with rectangular shape?
If the pool is rectangular in shape then the formula is:
length X width x average depth x 7.5.
If the pool is circular then the formula is:
3.14 x 3.14 x pool radius (1/2 pool diameter) x average depth x 7.5.
If the pool has a shape other than these then it is a little more difficult.
For round pools you want the area of the circle x the height, or 3.14 x radius x radius x height, then convert feet to gallons by x 7.5.
A 24 foot by 4 feet deep pool holds 13,564 gallons.
What are fun things to do in a pool by yourself?
You could take a walk in your neighborhood, make a fairy garden, teach your pet/pets new tricks, kick around a soccer ball, try to do a cartwheel, teach yourself jump rope tricks, draw your backyard, have a lemonade stand, look for bugs, and water your plants. Hope that helped! :)
Why is swimming 1650 yards considered a mile?
In Olympic and International competition, the distances are in meters (usually either 25 "short course" or 50 meter "long course" pools). A mile is 1609 meters. 1650 is the first 50 meter multiple over a mile, so that's the distance used for the race. The races are all the same digit of measurement (100, 200, 400, 800, 1650) regardless of yards or meters.
A true "olympic size pool" measures 50 meters long and 25 meters wide (this way, the pool can be either short course or long course depending on how the lane lines are strung) which is as big as you're probably ever gonna see. However, the term "Olympic sized" seems to be thrown around a lot and can generally mean any pool big enough to do laps in (which is 25 yards (short course) in length minimal). So when asking how big a pool is one should probably find out if it's long or short course and yards or meters.
Why would divers dive in very deep waters?
The water pressure is too great. It doubles with every 33 feet of depth. The maximum depth for conventional scuba diving is about 40 m (130 ft), technical divers with specialized gas mixtures may work down to 110 m (350 ft). The depth of the deep sea can be as far down as 4,000 m (14,000 ft)
Technically you're not supposed to come into contact with people but no matter how hard you try someone always gets hit or you yourself is getting hit. I have seen on multiple occasions bloody nosed which were the product of getting hit in the face by some swimmer in the other lane. Also I have seen during relays when someone dives off the block sometimes they kick the swimmer before them in the head. I have also given girls headaches before because when I am swimming down my lane a lot of the time I hit someone in the head...hard. (Maybe it was an accident maybe it wasn't) So I think that swimming was never meant to be a contact sport but has definitely turned into one.
Who is the most famous sports leader?
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this, but maybe you mean who was the best player on the most successful sports team? If so, you could say Michael Jordan. He led the Chicago Bulls to 6 championships (two three-peats with his two-year retirement in the middle), as well as the best regular season record in NBA history in 1996 (72-10). You could also go with Bill Russell, Center and Captain of 11 Boston Celtics championship teams. Shaquille O'Neal has won four titles as the best player/leader on his team. I'd go into other sports, but the ambiguous nature of the question is making me lazy...
How many lengths must you swim in an olympic pool to swim 1 km?
Twenty in a 50 meter pool (Olympic), or 40 in a 25 yard pool (collegiate). However, there is no 1 km race in an olympic pool, it is either an 800 meter or a 1500 meter, which they call the mile.
