Well firstly it is the dive or a push off the wall that creates the momentum for the swimmer to go in a forward direction. this can be helped if the swimmer is in a streamline position. After that it is the pull and kick of the swimmer, how strong the swimmers pull and kick is depends on the speed.

Energy. Each particle of water moves around in a circle. Energy moves forward while water particles remain in the same place.


A swimmer moves through the water at an average speed of 0.22 meter per second.The average drag force is 110 N.What average power is required of the swimmer?

Since the speed is constant (acceleration is zero), we know the horizontal forces are balanced.The swimmer's forward force cancels the 110N drag force.Work done by the swimmer is (110N x .22meter) = 24.2 N-m per second= 24.2 Joules per second= 24.2 watts
