Is 20 laps in 12:39 minutes good?

Question

Is 20 laps in 12:39 minutes good?

Answer 1

Are you a competative swimmer?  If not that is a good time.  If you are the average 500 time is 5-8 minutes but if you keep working hard I'm sure that you can get it down

Answer 2

Nope, that's about 38 seconds per length.

...Wait, do you consider a 'lap' as 2 legths or 50 meters? (20 laps = 500 meters ... 20 laps = 1000 meters?)

If so, it's pretty good for a rookie.

If not... try hockey.

Answer 3

My time is a 5:51.82 the slowest person in my zone is 10:20.64

So to answer your question.....

No.

Answer 4

well 20 laps is a 500.

and no not really...

the average time is about 5-8 min for competitive swimmers.

but if your not a competetive swimmer thats a good time :]

Answer 5

That information is kind of vague. Maybe you could specify a little more about what you did.

Do you consider laps once across the pool? Or down AND back? Were you swimming in a 25 yard/meter pool? Or a 50 yard/meter pool?

Answer 6

No, I'm a 13 year old female swimmer and I swim 20 laps in about 6 minutes, easy. Sorry but you might want to work on it.

Answer 7

It's actually really slow.

Answer 8

How far is the pool is it 25 yards, 25 meters or 50 meters? You could certainly work on your time. A 500 takes most competitive swimmers 4-8 minutes, but if you are just starting out that is probably alright, you will improve if you keep working on it.
