What energy system does 200m freestyle use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how long it takes you to complete the 200. The phosphagen system, which is an anaerobic system, is used to start any exercise. Then glycolysis takes over for the next few minutes. Glycolsis can be fast (anaerobic) or slow (aerobic). Swimming at a low intensity for a longer period of time will eventually convert to the oxidative system, an aerobic system.

How do you score a multi team swim meet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the type of meet.-

At a high school swim meet, a single team will get a number of different scores, a different one against each other team that is there. It is scored as though there were only two teams. For example- team A gets first in an event, B gets second, and C gets third. In the meet between teams B and C, B will get the points for first and B will get the points for second because team A doesn't exist at their dual meet. In the end, team A could could win against team B and lose to team C, but they will get first out of two and second out of two, not second out of three.

Club swim meets are a bit easier- If team A gets first in an event, B gets second, and C gets third, A gets points for first, B gets points for second, and C gets points for third, so it would be second out of three, not first out of two and second out of two.

How long is a swimmer's 500M race?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

20 lengths of a 25 meter pool, or 10 lengths of a 50 meter pool. Some people refer to a lap as one pool length, while others refer to a lap as down and back (2 lengths). I haven't found which one is the correct terminology, but the term length has only one meaning (for the particular pool that you are using).

What is the difference between Butterfly and Breast Stroke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The butterfly is most likely the hardest for most people because it requires you to keep and move your feet in a whale-like manner while lifting your arms in and out of the water. Meanwhile, the breaststroke only requires you to move your feet up, out, and together and your arms to move like you are searching for something.

But a simularity is that both strokes have the same turn

Who is the fastest woman swimmer for 100 m freestyle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is Micheal Phelps.

The world's fastest swimmer would have to be Michael Phelps because he holds 30 ( i think) world records in swimming.

Breaking 37 world records, Michael Phelps is generally considered the greatest swimmer of all time.

Currently (2009), France's Frederick Bousquet holds the 50m freestyle record at 20.94 seconds. Britta Steffen holds the women's 50m freestyle record at 23.73 seconds. Although Caleb Dressel has a 18.23 freestyle.

Answer The fastest swimmer on earth is seamus sazuki on the japenise swim team. he has beat michale phelps in the 100 backstroke and won 15 gold medals.
Magnusson
Micheal Phelps is considered the best and fastest swimmer of all swimming records. But this is not yet a fact.

Currently (2009-2010), France's Frederick Bousquet holds the 50m freestyle record at 20.94 seconds. Britta Steffen holds the women's 50m freestyle record at 23.73 seconds.
