Keep trying. Keep doing what you have been doing but gradually increase the repetitions. You can also try to cut down on your rest time.

I am very very very curious, how do you define 1 lap in swimming?

50m or 100m ?

A lap is just one lap of whatever pool you're in.

unfortunately, my race is next month...very close...and i have limited time for training...like around sundays...

Alright .. it seems you don't get my question.

Just assume, I am swimming in an Olympic size swimming pool. 50m consider one lap ?

In competitive swimming training, a "lap" is generally referred to as an "interval". A lap or an interval can refer to various distances. For example, if you're told to swim 10 laps of 50's @ 1:10, it would mean 10x50m swims @ 1:10, with 1:10 being the interval time for each 50m.


Ooh ... in that case, you may have over-committed yourself. You shouldn't attempt something your body's not ready to do.

maybe so, i was forced to do so, do i carry on? with the training that is?

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying. So, if the pool is a 50m pool, then one lap is 50m, from one end to the other. If it was a 25m pool, a lap would be 25m.

A 'lap' is not a measure of absolute distance, it is basically defined as 'from one end of the pool to the other'. This is the standard definition.

In a circuit, like a racing circuit, a 'lap' is traversing the entire circuit from a start point/line, and back to it.

Hi all,

Anybody know where to take swimming lessongs in the DJ, DU, TTDI area?Hope somebody here can help.

Anybody can recommend a good place? I asked my friends and they suggested the following:
- MPBJ public pool near the MAS building in Kelana Jaya (closest one I found to my house, but still have to travel a bit)
- Tropicana, but not sure exactly where. Anybody know this place?
- Sunway Swimming near Sunway University College (they even have a website @ http://www.swimlesson.com.my/), but this place is a bit too far from my house
- University Malaya, does anybody know if its open to the public?


Anybody know anyplace else in the area? Thanks in advance.
