How long should it take a 17 year old to swim the length of an olympic sized pool (approx 25 meters)?

Question

I know it varies by person... but generally

Answer 1

for 25 meters it takes me about 15 seconds on a sprint but swimming fifty meters it takes me about 32 seconds.... this swim season it should be a ton lower since i have only been swimming for one year.

Answer 2

Well I'm 15. I'f I do a racing start and sprint the length of the pool it should take me about 13 to 15 seconds. (this is just freestyle) So if you have been swimming competativly for a long time i would say it should take you about 12-14 seconds.

Answer 3

an olympic pool is 50 meters... but ok. And to swim that, it depends on how trained the person is. For someone who just jumps nito a pool and starts swimming... about 1 minute. For someone whos trained, but not yet perfect, about 45 seconds. For someone whos been training, competitive, great swimmer, about 37-35 seconds. But this is just for freestyle. It really depends on the stroke too

Answer 4

not being sexist but men swim faster then women generally. It really depends on your endurance and how much you have trained. I know the average guy on my team can swim a 50 yd Freestyle in 30 seconds or under, now that is just the average. Some of the faster kids can get around a 22.04

Answer 5

It varies depending on the stroke and training but If you are a high school swimmer that does not swim yearround I would say about a 14-15 in freestyle

Answer 6

for 25 meters.... maybe 15 seconds or less. i wouldnt know cuz im not 17. and it really does depend on how long youve been swimming(in years). whats your current time? and how long have you been swimming?

Answer 7

it depends on your level of strength and endurance and how comfortable you are in the water
