Swimming: How many lengths to start off with?

I want to start lane swimming.?

  • I want to start lane swimming, I'm kinda nervous because I've never done this before. I think I'm a pretty good swimmer, I'm doing bronze med but unfortunately I failed because I didn't get to finish all the fitness tests. I was thinking I'd be better at the fitness test if I do lane swimming. So is there anything I should know about lane swimming? I really don't want to go if there's many people, so what time should I go. And if there's many people swimming do I share a lane or what? Help

  • Answer:

    Go for it. lane swimming is gr8 fun. And even if you wearnt a good swimmer you can always improve from it. but i think that from what uv said u will do fine. also i do lane swimming everyday and i always swim with other people, and if you think som1 might be a little faster than u, just let them go infrount. ALSO I WENT 4 THE BRONZE MED TO AND FAILED THAT SAME TEST, TRUST ME LANE SWIMMING REALLY HELPS! from my experence i find the of a night time and in da morning is the best time to go but even then u still get the odd 23 people in ur lane! but dont worry bout them. follow ur dreams Good luck, i hope i helped

you need to know how to flip turn, streamline, be able to swim fast, straight, and for a long time like 5 hours, just the basics

Lane swimming is basically the same as regular swimming except for techniques. And no, if there were to be many people in a swim meet you wouldn't share a lane, you would be in a different heat... for example, 8 lanes are all full, there are 15 people. So heat 1 would have 8 people, and after the 8 people swim, heat 2, 7 people would swim.

lane swimmer is a really good sport and dont be nervous everyone is at first. in swimming you get alot of exersise and it works every part of your body. i suggest you maybe join a swim club. in those you get to learn all the strokes and you become better and faster at it. but u do have to pay money if there are more people in a lane you circle swim. to circle swim you always swim on the right side like driving in a car so u dont crash into anyone i hope this help u
