Seriously? Some simple maths will give you your answer:

1km = 10 * 100m

Swimmers take 55 secs to go 100m. Assuming their speed is constant, it would take them 10 * 55 secs to go 1km. 10 * 55 = 550, so it takes 550 secs to travel 1km.

Divide this by minutes: (550/60=9.1667) which means that they swim at 9.1667km per hour.

How fast is the 25m freestyle swim?

There are no 25 yard events event at the international level. Typically only very young swimmers (12 years and under) swim 25 yard events. However, given that the world record for the 50 yard freestyle is 18.47 (set by Cesar Cielo at the 2008 NCAA Championships), I would guess that the fastest 25 yard free ever swum would be 9.0 seconds or faster.
