Can humans run faster than they swim?

Question

this is an argument between me and my brother I say run he says swim

Can ya'll prove your answer

Answer 1

you can run way faster. take the world record for swimming 100 meters. somewhere around 47 seconds. anybody with legs can run 100m in 47 seconds.

running is faster.

Answer 2

have your brother start swimming from one end of a pool to the other while you run along the deck. see who wins (you will;) )

Answer 3

yes, you can run about 4 times faster than you can swim

Answer 4

definitely running. Have someone in a large pool and another alongside on the deck. Both start at the same time and the runner will win.

Answer 5

yes

yes beacause  i raced my dad doinging it!

Answer 6

Running! is faster than swimming. Since you dont have the "gravity" from the water

Answer 7

haha well, i don't have any proof, but michael phelps must run REALLY fast. XD

Answer 8

Yes, unless you're handicapped or something you can run faster than you can swim. Water is more dense than air, and because of that it produces more friction/drag when you move through it.

Answer 9

your bro is stupid. the world record holder for running the 100 meters is 9.69 seconds. 100 meters in swimming is 46 seconds and Michael Phelps can do it in like 50 seconds and he is pretty flipin fast at swimming so you win
