Swim Distance Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Swim Distance.
Dswim = L L * #L
- Where Dswim is the Swim Distance (m,yds,ft)
- LL is the total length of one lap (m,yds,ft)
- #L is the total number of laps
How to Calculate Swim Distance?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Swim Distance.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total length of one lap (m,yds,ft).
- The total length of one lap (m,yds,ft) is given as: 50.
- Next, determine the total number of laps.
- The total number of laps is provided as: 40.
- Finally, calculate the Swim Distance using the equation above:
Dswim = L L * #L
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
Dswim = 50 * 40 = 2,000 ((m,yds,ft))
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
total length of one lap (m,yds,ft) = 50
total number of laps = 7
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Dswim = L L * #L = ?
