How many laps can you swim non-stop?

[asianfreak]

The most I'm able to swim is somewhere over 20 without stopping.

I think I'm a born swimmer. I learned how to swim at 2 or 3 and swam competitively from 5-18 then stopped after high school because my college did not have a swim team and a very poor excuse for a pool (4 feet across). In our summer practices though, we would have to swim 1500-2000M without stopping or he would make us do the whole thing over. In high school meets, we'd have to swim 500M during races, so that's 20 laps right there. I'd say I could probably swim 100 laps without stoping if I really wanted to.

I sprinted a mile (just over 64 lengths of a pool) once in a race. That was a bad decision. At a typical practice though I'd say we swam close to 300 laps nonstop back in the day.

Standard Olympic pool? I managed to swim 100 meters in it without stopping. Then I died. =)

It depends on the stroke. Freestyle, maybe like 3-5, but I can do a lot moreover breast stroke. I would say like 7-10 laps.

[TheUglyOne]

That's actually not too bad. Unless it's the kiddie pool haha.

[MrEM4N]

About 6. Its something I really wish I was better at.

[crazybastard]

freestyle I can do 10. that's just the max. anyone who says they can do 100 or some bullsh*t like that are either lying or are professional athletes.

[toulouse]

If you never tried to do something, then how do you think, have anything credible to say on the possibility of it.

If you actually worked at it , you could do 100. Just takes conditioning. Which you accomplish, from repeatedly working at the same thing. Its not as big deal. Any 9 year old can do it.

(if they WORK)

[crazybastard]

yea but you gotta swim like everyday and dedicate yourself. if you drink and smoke and you say you can swim 100 laps? that's some bullsh*t

[toulouse]

If you drink & smoke & say you can swim 100 laps... I don't think saying you can swim, is the bullsh*t part. .

:P you are always bragging. Do you memorize the Dow while swimming? And honestly I can swim maybe 4 or 5 miles without stopping. ( I love to tease you but you sure ask for it)

[asianfreak]

nope haha

[johari]

I can barely do one I run out of breath so for you Cool

[Anonymous]

Ummm, if I fill my bathtub all the way to the top...none. :(

[NewClassic]

I just learned how to swim this summer! I will work on that

[DebiPie]

Doesn't that depend on the size of the pool?

[kady4e]

a half xD

a snail would swim faster than me...

[THE_Godfather]

1 length.

I can run a little better.

[toulouse]

100 laps. 50 meter length pool.

[Lj236]

oh sure sure ;p

[toulouse]

yeah. since I was 10.

[randommixedchick]

Why not believe her? It's really not that unbelievable if someone has been a swimmer for a long time...

[toulouse]

I started swimming on a swim team when I was 9. the following summer id spend all day at the pool training. Because I like working hard. I would do at least 100 because it's a good solid number& takes a while..

i don't swim regularly now. when I do, I just keep swimming until its 100. because I know I can, so it feels like I'm giving up, to do less.

I did not realize people on GaG, on average, can barely swim several laps. Just takes practice.Thats certainly, no reason to down vote a person.

[randommixedchick]

I agree. They probably just don't believe you. I swam competitively since age 5 so 100 laps is not bad, honestly.

[toulouse]

Its just really silly, to down vote someone because you can't swim... much.

Since 5, nice. I didn't realize swim teams existed, until they dropped a notice on everyones desk in 4th grade. Be nice to know sooner;)
