Under what condition do two swimmers have the same power in a race?

Two swimmers have the same power in a race when they exert equal energy output over a given time, which means their speed and resistance to drag must result in the same overall performance. This condition can occur if both swimmers have similar swimming techniques, body types, and environmental factors affecting their speed, such as water currents and temperature. Additionally, if they maintain similar stroke rates and efficiency, their power output can be comparable despite differences in their physical abilities.

How many laps in a 25 yard pool make 1 mile?

5280 feet in a mile divided by 3 for yards = 1760 yards in a mile

1760 yards in a mile divided by 25 yard pool length = 70.40 laps The above is not correct. While the math is correct, that is not the accepted swimming conversion. A lap is 50 yards; therefore, in a 25 yd pool, a lap is down and back. Also, it is commonly accepted that a swimming mile is 1650 yards. This means that a swimming mile is 33 laps (or 66 lengths). ** Some say that a mile is 32 laps (or 64 lengths).
It takes 70.4 (round up to 71) laps in a 25 yard pool to swim a mile

to figure this out: the number of yards in a mile = 1760 divide by 25 = 70.4

Just note that a LAP is down and back, which is 50 yards. 1760 divide 25 yards is 70.4 LENGTHS, not laps. It is approximately 36 laps in a 25 yard pool to swim a mile.

Another note, in a 25 meter pool it would take 32 laps (or 64 lengths) to swim a mile: the number of meters in a mile = 1600 divided by 50 = 32

When did swimming start?

Back in 1987 B.C. a little-known Neanderthal named Moog Weissmuller accidentally fell from a high cliff into a deep body of water. Upon discovering that he could not breath while under the water, he quickly realized that by flailing his arms and legs in an organized manner, he could basically stay alive. Thus the invention (perfected over time) was to become known as "swimming." As a side note, unknown to Moog, Ugh Spitz observed Moog's fall and thought it must have hurt when he hit the water on his back. After some practice and multiple painful attemtps, Ugh was able to enter the water from high cliffs barely causing a splash! He and Moog decided to call Ugh's perfected method "diving." Fortunately, Moog was able to position himself in the water to save Ugh during his many attemtps, as Ugh had not yet developed Moog's staying-alive-in-the-water techniques.
