Well, I’m a marathon runner and I train and I have loadsa my endurance and cardio-vascular resistance is very good, after all the tests we did in PE class. Anyway, now that this project was as dumb chick, an hour by train every night to build strength, cardiovascular disease. I already had his way, as often happens, so now I’m done swimming. I know that during the summer, sometimes about 50 to 75 laps in our pool of 25 meters, I am not a professional swimmer and sports excellent, except for running and rowing. they are not for those two, I would be in bad condition. welll, this chick is. So how long you have 50 laps in a 25m pool would take? I lost track of time, only that I like, you know, slowly cruising. . . Please please please help me! and also please tell me any other activities that improve the cardio-vascular endurance? ” thank you so much! xxxchechie

When racing I can do 25 in about 6:45-7 minutes. So I would say 15-20 minutes for me if I was working pretty hard. I don’t know if this would build up her cardiovascular endurance more or her muscular endurance more though.

i am a sprint swimmer so doing 50 laps would take me a little under 20 minutes do 50 laps. for non-proficient swimmers give it from 45 min to an hour

If that person knows how to swim properly, then 50 easy paced laps should take you between 30-45 minutes. 50 laps is only 1250 meters.. which isn’t that much. I think beginning swimmers can swim that in around an hour to an hour and a half.
But you know, if you want to improve that person’s cardiovascular fitness, sorry to break it to you, but swimming slowly is not going to do any good, and only swimming 50 laps definitely will not do anything. Competitive swimmers swim 50 laps as a warm up… and then they do drill sets and long main sets. If she does know how to swim properly, then you could give her some threshold swim sets. No sprinting, though. Sprinting is too short to be a good cardiovascular workout.
She could even do stationary biking at the gym. Those are fun and it works cardiovascularly if she actually does it properly.
