I've just added swimming to my fitness routine. I am a relatively fit 40 year old who generally walks and rides a bike. After 3 non-sequential days of swimming, I timed a 100 yard freestyle swim (in a 25 yard pool) at 1:41.
It's hard to say what average is because it is so affected by age and endurance. A time of less than a minute is a sign that a young person has an efficient stroke. A time less than 52 seconds good time for high school swimmer, although a time of less than 48 seconds is needed for consideration as a High School All American. A time of less than 42 seconds is needed to reach the finals of the NCAA division one championships.
For a fitness swimmer, being able to consistently swim below 1:30 or 1:40 is very solid depending on one's age.
Hi I'm 15 year old and I'm a freshmen in high school. I just started swimming and I've been doing it for 2 months. My 100yd time is 1:15 in a 25yd pool. It all depends on your age and your fitness ability. So i say your time is pretty good for that age.
The average 100 yard time for a 7 year old boy depends on which stroke they are swimming and the length of the pool. A typical time for a boy younger then 10 swimming the 100 yard freestyle is 1 minute 10 seconds.
Swimming was first held at the Commonwealth Games at the first-ever Edition in 1930. The program consisted of 11 events (6 for men and 5 for women). Joyce Cooper (England) won four of the five Women's Events: 100 yard freestyle, 400 yard freestyle, 100 yard backstroke and 4x100 yard freestyle relay.
Beats the hell out of me.
there wasn't a 50 meter freestyle event in the 1964 Olympics. Only 100 meters.
As a 100 yard dash sprinter in the 60's the average time would be about 10.2 to 10.3.
a swimmer from Wisconsin... set Illinois state high school record in the 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard free style
There are many types of relays in swimming. The two main categories are Medley Relays and Freestyle Relays. A medley relay consists of 4 swimmers, with each swimmer doing a different stroke (Backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke, freestyle). A freestyle relay consists of 4 swimmers, with each one swimming freestyle. A 100 relay would mean that each swimmer is going for 25 yards/meters. A 200 relay means 50 yards/meters each and so on. Sometimes relays are referred to as "four by (length)" relays. So a 400 yard freestyle relay consisting of four 100 yard freestyle legs would be called a "four by 100 yard free relay" and so on...and so on also swimming is an awsome sport!!!!!!
A reliable way to convert a hand-held 100-yard time to an electronic 100-meter time is to multiply the hh-time by 1.103. Therefore, 10.2 in the 100-yard dash time equates to an 11.25 100-meter dash time. Also, to convert an electronic 100-yard dash time to an electronic 100-meter dash time, multiply the first time by 1.088. For example, a 10.20 electronic 100-yard time equates to an 11.10 electronic 100-meter dash time.
George Bovell swam the 50 m freestyle, 100 m freestyle, & 100 m backstroke for Trinidad and Tobago his best finish was 7th in the 50 m freestyle with a time of 21.82
Johnny Weissmuller (first Tarzan actor) set the 100-yard freestyle swiming record (52.4 seconds).
First of all, in swimming, there are no routines. There and practice drills and events. The practice drills are in practice. Some are, Double Arm Backstroke, Y Stop Breastsrke, Biolateral Breathing Freestyle, and One Arm Butterfly. The events are in swimming meets. Some are, The 100 Yard IM, 50 Yard Backstroke, 200 Yard Freestyle, and 25 Yard Breastroke. There are TONS more events and drills that I could list.
