25 meter long. Unless you are asking about time becuase if you are talking about time then it depends on what level you swim at. If you dogie paddle it will take much longer than if you used a freestyle stroke
What is an average 100 yard freestyle time?
I've just added swimming to my fitness routine. I am a relatively fit 40 year old who generally walks and rides a bike. After 3 non-sequential days of swimming, I timed a 100 yard freestyle swim (in a 25 yard pool) at 1:41.
It's hard to say what average is because it is so affected by age and endurance. A time of less than a minute is a sign that a young person has an efficient stroke. A time less than 52 seconds good time for high school swimmer, although a time of less than 48 seconds is needed for consideration as a High School All American. A time of less than 42 seconds is needed to reach the finals of the NCAA division one championships.
For a fitness swimmer, being able to consistently swim below 1:30 or 1:40 is very solid depending on one's age.
Hi I'm 15 year old and I'm a freshmen in high school. I just started swimming and I've been doing it for 2 months. My 100yd time is 1:15 in a 25yd pool. It all depends on your age and your fitness ability. So i say your time is pretty good for that age.
How many lengths must you swim in a 20 meter pool to swim one mile?
Assuming laps means two lengths (there and back in a lane):
1yd = 0.9144m
20yd = 18.288m
2 lengths = 36.576m
1km = 1000m
= 1000m / 36.576m
~= 27.34 laps
(just over 54 2/3 lengths)

What are the swimming equipments?
Equipment for practices include: Practice suit and drag suit: These increase the drag (resistance) in the water so when you take them off to race you go alot faster Goggles: For the sole purpose of being able to see while your swimming Cap: Its really optional.. but for girls (and guys with long hair) it helps alot with keeping your hair out of the way. And there are really cute caps out there too! Fins: Used for kicking or swimming. Pull Buoy: A piece of foam that you put between your legs so you can pull and focus on your arms. This prevents kicking and also keeps legs afloat. A strap or tube can also be substituted for this Paddles: Increase pull against the water.. can either be traditional or fulcrom style paddles. These are usually used for pulling Snorkle: Sometimes used in pulling. This allows you to breathe while you swim without turning your head. Kick Board: A board that you use for kicking Equipment for Competition: Racing suit: Usually very tight and sometimes longer down the legs and arms. This provides the least amount of drag. Goggles Cap: Cuts out drag that hair has Warmups: Keep you muscles warm before and after races! and of course towels!

How many liters of water in swimming pool 25meters by 9 meters and 3 meters deep?
Such a shape has two components to its cross-section * A rectangle 11 metres long and 1.5 metres
and * a triangle 11 metres long and 0.5 metres high The square area of these is (11 x 1.5) + 1/2(11 x 0.5)
These work out as (16.5) + 1/2(5.5) = (16.5) + (2.75) = 19.25 Square Metres Now we can work on the width of the pool and get cubic metres 19.25 x 9 = 173.25 cubic metres. 1 cubic metre = 1,000 litres so 173.25 cubic metres = 173,250 litres.
What are the 4 main swimming strokes?
Freestyle: A stoke involving the constant kick of your feetwhile your arms move like a zipper up your side and over your head. In this stroke you breate to alternating sides and do flip turns.
Backstroke: A stroke involving the constant kicking motion of your feet and your arms moving in a propeler motion on your back. In this stroke you breathe whenever because your face is out of the water and also do flip turns.
Breaststroke: A stroke that involves your legs kicking by coming up to your butt then forcefully coming down then your arms move in a circle from in front of your head down to your bust line. In this stroke you breathe after every pull, if you don't, you will be disqualified! Also, you must touch all walls with two hands at the same time.
Butterfly: A stroke involving your feet dolphin kicking once and then they kick at the same time as your arms come out of the water above your bach, enter a little to the sides of your head and then make a keyhole with your arms in the water. In this troke, you breathe after every two kicks and also must touch with two hands.

How many calories burned swimming?
- I was told that you can burn approximately 450 calories in an hour, but only if you are swimming as if in a practice. That means you don't stop very often to relax. You have to keep the pace going. Doing something like a butterfly stoke (which requires a lot of effort) solidly for one hour might burn 500-700 depending on your weight.
- I'm not sure if this is correct but I heard that if you can manage to build up your pace and get to the stage where you can swim one whole mile in 33 minutes it will burn approximately 425 calories. I'm joining my school swim team next week.
- The number of calories burned swimming depends on how fast you are swimming, what swimming stroke you use, the amount of effort required from you, how far you swim, and how often you rest. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.

Worlds longest swimming record?
On Saturday morning Penny Palfrey went for a dip. A little over 40 hours later she emerged after setting the world record for the longest solo unassisted swim.
Her 68-mile trek across the Cayman Islands in nothing but a standard swimsuit and goggles bypassed packs of sharks, powerful currents, and unpredictable weather.

Does a swim cap really reduce a swimmers drag and increase their speed?
Though its primary purpose is to stop water from going into a swimmer's ears, (and keeps hair fairly dry), it can help a swimmer to move faster. The cap has a tiny bit less friction with the water than hair does, and this can have a measurable effect on speed, especially at the competitive level.

Can you go swimming if its 73 degrees?
This depends on a number of factors, such as what is the temperature of the water you are going to swim in. This will be determined either by some sort of pool heater or by the water becoming naturally heated by the sun.
Obviously you can swim if the water is 80 degrees and its 75 degrees out.
Probably not if its 35 degrees in the water.
