Why do people get thirsty after swimming in the ocean?
The ocean is very salty and salt dries out your mouth giving you the feeling that you are thirsty.
Actually, the reason is two fold:
(1) As with any exercise, you sweat while you swim, as a way to help cool your body, as exercise has increased the body temperature. It may seem amazing, but a typical competitive swimmer can easily lose several pounds of water weight during a typical day's 2 hour swim practice. This loss of water means you feel thirsty, in the same way that you would after an extended run. Look at most swim practices - swimmers will actually keep bottles of water at the end of the pool, and drink from them periodically.
(2) The human skin is not a waterproof barrier. The ocean, which contains a high concentration of salt, is out-of-balance with the water inside of the human body. As two adjacent volumes of a liquid with difference concentrations of a solute will try to balance themselves out, the low-salt water inside of the human body attempts to balance itself with the high-salt ocean water. Unfortunately, salt cannot be absorbed through the human skin, which means that the water inside the human body attempts to "balance" out the ocean water by diluting it (which, given the volume difference, is impossible). In effect, the salty ocean water "sucks" out water from the inside of the human body, as the two volumes attempt (futilely) to balance the salt concentration. This processes is slow, but not that slow. Thus, it is easy to become dehydrated while swimming in salt water, as the ocean literally sucks out the water from your body. A human being will die of dehydration while stuck swimming in the ocean far faster than they would by being in the middle of the hottest desert on earth.
Exacerbating (2), most people in the ocean manage to swallow a non-trivial amount (a pint or more) of ocean water if they spent any amount of time in anything other than completely calm water. The extremely high salinity of said water accelerates the dehydration process, as it sucks out water from the body into the digestive tract (to be eventually excreted in a couple of hours).
How many miles is 80 laps in a 50 meter pool?
One lap is usually seen as there-and-back, so a lap is twice the length of the pool.
So a lap in a 50 m pool is 100 m. One mile is 1608 meters. 1/2 mile is 804 meters. 804 / 100 = 8
So 8 laps and a turn is 0.5 miles.

You need to define your question a bit. Are you looking for the longest swim? The fastest in the 50m, the 100m, or the 1 mile?

How many lengthsin a pool equal a mile?
An Olympic-sized pool is 50 meters long by 25 meters wide and runs to a depth of 2.0 meters. A mile is 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards, which is the same as 1,609.344 meters.
1600 meters would require 32 lengths of the pool. To get to a full mile, an additional 9.344 meters would be required.
AnswerThe above is true, technically. However, if you are asking how many lengths the Olympic event "the mile" is, it's actually 30, because it's the 1500.No offense intended but "technically" and in all actuality there is no swimming event currently in the Olympics called "the mile" but instead there is the 1500 meter freestyle mens (refer to Swimming | Olympic Sport | London 2012 Summer Olympics| 1500m freestyle men - Olympic.org )
AnswerThese are both true, but, if you're swimming in a 25 yard pool it's 66 laps- that's a 1650.When you're swimming in a 50 meter pool, like in the olympics, it's just a little bit over 30 laps if you want to be exact, but the swimmers only swim 30 laps.
What are the basic swimming skills?
To be able to swim fast, but preferable to be able to accelerate very fast and to start faster than your opponent. Next you need a lot of stamina and you need to be able to tread water using the eggbeater technique. This involves kicking your legs one after the other instead of kicking them simultaneously. This will make sure you don't need your arms to stay above water, so you can use them to throw the ball or block your opponents' throw.

What are the different floating techniques in swimming?
There are two basic floating techniques in swimming:
Making sure your stomach is pushed upwards is absolutely key to maintaining a floating position. If you let your stomach and pelvis sink down, you will sink to the bottom. If you are working with a child, I find telling them to make a "big Santa Clause belly" helpful, and telling them to try to look like Patrick on Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob."
Note:
Keep in mind that due to body type and shape, not everyone will float the same way. People who have a lower density (due to having more fat in their body), are more likely to float at the surface of the water. And people who are very thin or very muscular are likely to float lower in the water. This is why women tend to float better than men: Men naturally have a leaner body shape and women are naturally curvier because we have breasts and wider hips. Remember that floating does not constitute that one is necessarily at the surface, rather that one is suspended in water at a constant level.

Yes, you can learn at any age you want to. Swimming is a great sport and will increase your confidence near and in water.
Should you wear flippers while swimming?
It depends. If you are trying to improve a certain stroke such as butterfly, it can help you get your technique down. Leading to a faster swim time. They can also strengthen muscles more than without them. One the flip side, all they do other then that is make you faster with them on but without you will most likely be the same speed. They can also simulate the feeling of going faster which for some people helps them in the pool.
What is considered to be one lap in a 25 yard pool?
Swimming from one end to the other is considered to be one lap or length
How many calories burned swimming 2700 meters?
To tell how many calories you would burn you would have to know how hard you are going to swim it. If you are just floating around and gliding, you wouldn't burn many calories. If you were swimming hard (continuously, flip turns included) you would be burning more.
How do you persuade your parents to get you out of swimming?
Obviously, you ask them. List out all of the reason it would be so helpful especially since its summer. But even if they say no, first you want to get the idea in there head and keep on telling them you want it each day. Also, list out what you would be willing to give up or give in.
