What does 4x100 mean?

Question

in swim workouts they also have 6x100, 12x100, etc. what does that even mean?

Answer 1

a 4X100 means that you would swim 100 yards of stroke (or whatever you are supposed to do during the 100s) 4 times. so it adds up to 400 yards, but there are breaks after each 100. it is the same for others just the distance changes

hope that answers your question!

Answer 2

Well i am not sure but i think you take 4x and divide it by 100x and put an x at the end of your answer.  

Answer 3

It's relay race. 4 people and every one swim 100m.

Answer 4

oh i guess that you are new in swimming and that,s fine me to when first time i train i don,t know what,s coach is talking about.

4x100 mean that 100m you repeat it four time .

if your coach say 4x100m freestyle that mean there is a race 100m freestyle repeat for four times

Answer 5

how many laps of 100 meters

Answer 6

the 100 meters is the pool and you swim back and forth 4 times.  

Answer 7

In a practice it means you repeat 100 meters 4 times usually with a break in between each. It would work the same way with 2x200, swim 200 meters twice.

In a relay it means 4 people each swims 100 meters. There are no 12x100  

or 6x100 relays though.

Answer 8

The front number means how many repeats you have of the number behind it. There is usually an interval or a cycle after each 100.

Answer 9

You are talking about a swimming relay then it's a 4 person relay where they all swim 100 meters.

P.S. Did you watch the men's 4x100 freestyle relay at the Olympics Ha Ha France
