Whats the average time for a 300 metres swim?
The World Record is 44.94 seconds, a good club swimmer will take 50 - 55 seconds while an 'average' swimmer should be taking around 90 seconds
also depends on how old u are. im thirteen and a girl so going around 58-66 seconds is good. it all depends on ur training level, ur age, ur experience, ur gender, and whether ur a long distance or sprinter
Why is an electrical storm dangerous?
Assuming that you mean a thunder and lightning storm, it is dangerous to swim because water is a conductor to electricity similarly to metal. If the storm is close, meaning you can see the lightning, you should get out of the pool immediately because it is possible that lightning will strike the pool.
How fast does Michael Phelps swim a 50 free?
Ways to swim 50m freestyle in a competition is:
1. After the dive you must do 8-10 kicks underwater (dolphin kick), as you are the fastest when you dive into the water, so you want to keep keep that pace for 3 seconds.
2. When you break from the water (the stroke that gets you started) you must (if you want to improve by 1 second) limit your breathing in the first length. What this does is to keep your body still so you don't have to breathe a lot: therefore making a faster swim.
3. When you take your first turn, make sure you keep streamlined. Do 4-6 dolphin kicks because you will go faster rather than just breaking the water when pushing off the wall. All your opponents will be tired and will miss out the kick, but doing the kick will make you half a body length faster than the other opponents who didn't kick.
4. Finally, a good tip is to finish fast and powerful at the wall as if you are tying1st place. You want to make sure you use absolutely all of your mettle and physical power to finish. Keep your head down (no breathing) and kick as much as you can.
What percentage of women have gone swimming nude?
Actually, Its Surprising, But 24.9% Of The Worlds Population Of Girls, Wears Short Shorts
Can you swim in lava with a fireproof suit?
Answer 1: No you can't swim in lava, even in a fireproof suit. Even if your suit does not burst into flame, the heat of the lava would still be enough to cook you very thoroughly.
In other words, you will die.
It should be noted that you can only "swim" in fluid that is less dense than your body, like water (liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen, too; but the other extreme occurs and you freeze to death in a few seconds). What determines whether you can swim in a liquid is which is more dense - you or the liquid.
Suppose you invented a suit that keeps cool, covers your entire body - and does not burn in lava! You will float in a liquid which is more dense than your body, and you will sink in a liquid that is less dense. If you jumped into molten lava, you would stay on top unless you had something incredibly heavy for ballast.
>> Anyone who wishes to swim in lava is definitely denser than the lava.
Answer 2:
Let's consider the possibility of the impossible.
You walk into WalMart and buy some "leather-man" fireproof lava-diving gear with integrated cooling for your own safety. Let's say the suit won't restrain your movement much at all, and so slippery that the lava won't stick to it either.
There are many different kinds of lava. From the very runny to the quite hard and slow-moving stuff. It depends on composition and temperature.
Common for them all is that the density is quite high. Much higher than that of our body, so we would not sink in deeply at all. Anything lighter per volume unit will float. It would be like swimming in thick honey, and from there it will get worse.
As for density, you could use weights to weigh you down in order to make sure you get below the surface. Scuba divers do that. But you would need very heavy metal, such as lead or depleted uranium.
As for visibility below...you only see what's stuck to your faceplate.
So it depends on what your definition of swimming is. It would probably be more like crawling in a dense mixture of syrup and sand.
So the answer could be a YES if the lava-diving gear is as good as it must be in order to fully protect the brave explorer inside it. It must not only be fireproof/heatproof. It must also be nonstick, otherwise you're stuck.
Another Thing to Consider: Lava is about 200 to 2200 degrees Celsius (392-3992 Fahrenheit) at the surface, depending on the stage of cooling. A flow of the smooth running lava (pahoehoe) would be near the upper range, while the chunky lava (a'a) would be slightly cooler near the surface but very hot inside. To "swim" in pahoehoe you would have to find something that would withstand those temperatures which is unlikely. Even the vulcanologists studying our Hawaiian volcanoes can only stand close to the lava flow to gather samples for a short time, even in protective gear. I have stood within a couple of feet of a slow moving pahoehoe "toe" and the heat was intense. I could barely stand there for the short time it took my husband to snap the photo!
EVERYTHING ABOVE IS CORRECT... But if you need a mental image, think of that closing scene from Terminator 2... when Arnold rides the chain hoist down into the molten steel. THAT's about what you're proposing. The result would be about the same, except you wouldn't be able to give us a thumbs up. You'd be burning alive.
Answer 3Lets look at the hard evidence for a moment. Of course it can be done, even if for only a few moments. Smeagol does it at the end of LOTR, right? Right? OK, he's kinda stationary, but you can see that he could have taken a few strokes if he had been inclined...If you're at the bottom when the lava hardens, you're trapped forever.
Answer_4">Answer 4Yes, the suite would need several layers:1. The outer layer would need to heat the lava 5-10% above max thermal temp for the type of lava substance. Compare this to slicing butter with a knife 10% above the temperature of the butter.
2. The next layer would consist of a heat shield such as is used on the shuttle for re-entry: RCC: Reinforced carbon-carbon - used in the nose cap and wing leading edges. This is used where reentry temperature exceeds 1,260 °C (2,300 °F)
3. The next layer would consist of an insulator (or should I say super-insulator)
4. The next layer would consist of compounds for extreme heat-exchange to transfer the heat energy
5. The next layer would be component based to transfer the heat energy to kinetic energy for powering a propulsion device (I doubt the human makeup would suffice for energy needed to actually swim through the lava due to it's viscosity)
6. The next layer would act as an additional insulator(s)
7. The next layer (or layers) would act as thermal and pressure exchangers (reducing the remaining thermal energy)
8. The next layer would consist of a pressurized boundary (for protection/separation of the lave suit occupant)
9. Components inside the occupant area would consist of H2O storage, CO2 scrubbers, release valves, safety monitors, navigation controls, etc...etc...etc
All in all it could be accomplished......
Answer 5I used to pose a similar question using the idea of paddling down a river of lava in a rubidium canoe. Rubidium is a crystal found in molten lava. If, IF, and again, if a suit with an appropriate cooling and breathing system could be produced, it could well be rubidium-based.What is the position of throw ball?
There is no position that always passes the ball in. The center usually passes the ball in, followed by the power forward and the small forward if necessary.
People who take part in swimming?
Swimming is not a team sport so there are no players. If you mean how many athletes can swim together at a usual swimming lap, the answer is 8. If you mean how many players each team has in water polo, there are six players and the goalkeeper.
In a 30 meter pool how many laps make a mile?
Swimming does burn calories at a rate of about 3 calories a mile per pound of bodyweight. If you weigh 150 lbs. and it takes you 30 minutes to swim one mile (1,760 yards or 1,609 meters), then you will be using about 900 calories in one hour. However, many swimmers do not swim that quickly, and many cannot swim for that distance or duration.
How many laps in a 32 foot pool equal a half mile?
An olympic sized swimming pool is the standard for all competition pools, training pools and nearly all public pools. It is 50 metres long. A lap is 2 lengths (ie 100 metres long). 32 laps= 32 x 100= 3200 metres ~ 2 miles
What is the height of a low diving board at a swimming pool?
The dimensions of an Olympic diving pool are usually 60 feet in length and 75 feet, 11 inches in width. It should be equipped with two 1-meter springboards, two 3-m springboards and a diving platform with three levels: 5m, 7.5m and 10m.
What happens to you when high voltage wire falls in a pool where you are swimming?
Depending on the voltage, you are most likely not going to be happy with the outcome. Don't swim in unsafe conditions.
How many swimming laps equal 440 yards?
If this helps, each lap ( there and back is 50 meters ). 440 yards is 402.336 meters. 402.336 divided by 50 is 8.04 laps.
440 yards = 8.04 laps. ( there and back )
Hope this helps! :D

Where can someone purchase kids swimming accessories?
you can go to any sports or swimming shops and find what you need.
How many swimming strokes are there in the world?
There are only 4 'real' strokes
-freestyle
-backstroke
-butterfly
-breaststroke
These are the only 4 swam at the olympics.
There are also stroke called 'survival stokes'. These include:
-survival backstroke
-survival breaststroke
-side stroke
These strokes are usually swam in open waters, like rivers, dams, and ocean.
But they aren't really stokes, just actions to keep your head above the water.
Depends on the water source, what type of pool it is, and what type of smell. Chances are once you get the chemicals in there and let it sit for a couple of days, the water will be fine. If it's particularly foul (like fecal matter), or stays smelly after the chemicals have been in it for a few days, you'd probably want to drain it and check that there's nothing wrong with the water source. Depending on what kind of smell it is, it could also just be the 'new pool scent' from the liner.
What is the average 25 meter 9 year old swim time in freestyle?
I think anything under 30 seconds is pretty good.
Can you swim with swimmers ear?
No, swimmers ear can not switch ears. When you are in the water for a while you will notice your fingers get wrinkly. This is what happens in your ear after some time. When this happens it allows germs to get into your skin and causes an infection. So if one ear is completely fine, it will not get swimmers ear unless you allow water to be in your ear for some time.
Should boys wear jockstraps while swimming?
Guys can wear jockstraps under their swimwear. There are also cups that are made for non-contact sports like swimming. But again it is completely up to the person.
Wearing either a regular jock or swimmer jocks are best under their swimwear. As you age teens who need the support of your family jewels will notice the need support to hide erections.
Is it bad to run swimming pool pump with too much air in it?
Lots of pool pumps have some air going through them without causing any problems as long as it doesn't have the effect of causing the pump to lose its prime its ok. Air runing through through the pump indicates that the seals in the valves the water runs trough may be worn or just in need of a little o ring sealant or you may have a fine leak in one of the pipes or joints leading to the pump.
How can you improve swimming speed?
Well, I'm still working on my backstroke myself, but a friend of mine gave me a REALLY good tip that's improved my speed by alot. When you reach the flags (that is, if there are any) start kicking your legs extremely fast. Once you're ready to, roll over onto your stomach and do your flip turn. Make sure you always try aiming closer to the floor after finishing your flip turn so you're gliding through the water. When you rise back up from the water, move your arms as FAST AS YOU CAN. This should help you when turning, but when you're actually swimming, roll your shoulders so they're moving in a circular motion. Also make sure you're reaching as far back as you can when using your arms. LAST THING. I don't do this, but apparently it helps. Try... bouncing in the water? I've tried doing it and it doesn't really help, but you could try it. Well, I hope I answered your question. If you already knew all of this though... then. Sorry.
How many degrees rise in water temp from solar pool cover?
It depends on the type of system, smaller heaters like an El Nino or Ez heat you may see only 10 degrees, with a Bigger name brand pool heater like a Fafco or Vortex system you will see up to 20 Degrees above ambient air temperature. So in places like Florida you can use them to basically swim all year round.
What unit is the width of a swimming pool?
they are all different. depends.
Usually 164ft length by 82ft width. 6 ft deep
it depends on if its an oficial size track. if its an official olympic sized track it will be 100 laps. 4 laps equals 1 mile so 4 times 25 would be 100 laps
