Maybe about 8 feet. It depends on how good at sweeping your sweepers are (how much pressure they can put on the ice, how well they can keep up fast strokes all the way down the ice, etc), and also the ice conditions.

∙ 8y agoSweeping doesn't actually increase the rock's speed. Thinking in terms of physics, a rock traveling down the ice after released can only have its speed decreased from friction; it can't increase its speed unless it gets pushed. Sweeping does, however, decrease the friction between the rock and the ice, which makes the rock's speed decrease not as fast as normal, so the rock has more time to travel, and thus travels farther when swept.

How is wheelchair curling different from regular curling?
Wheelchair curlers use the same rocks and play on the same ice as regular curlers, but they deliver the rocks, often by pushing them with a delivery stick, from a stationary position. The other major difference is that there is no sweeping, so once the stone has been thrown, there is no way to influence its path or speed. source: wheelchaircurling.com

What effect of the sweeping in curling?
The friction from sweeping heats the ice slightly and reduces the friction between the rock and the ice. This does two things; it makes the rock travel farther, and it also makes the rock travel straighter. When a rock is released, depending on the type of shot being thrown, the players will judge whether sweeping will help or hurt the trajectory of the rock, and decide whether the rock should be swept or not. Usually, the sweepers will pay attention to whether the rock might need sweeping to travel farther, while the skip pays attention to whether the rock might need sweeping to travel straighter, and they communicate this with each other while the rock travels down the ice.
