what is the number of swimmers on a swim team?

Well, there are 12 events in a swim meet. These events include 8 individual events, 3 four man relays, and diving in which up to three people can compete in. When two teams go head to head each team gets to fill up three lanes. Each swimmer can compete in a total of 4 events but no more than two relays or two individual events including diving. So if you do some math (which hopefully I did right) I think you could get by with as few 23 (if you have three guys specializing only in diving and that being their only event) if you want to be able to fill out every lane/spot in every event. Of course, you can have more or less than that but it would be hardly worth your while to have a team smaller than 10 swimmers as it would be all but impossible to win a meet.

How good a swimmer are you? If you can do a 16 minute swim, that would be a very good time. 17 minutes would be considered reasonable.

Swimming is a build up sport.\nstart off slow say 20 laps(without stopping)\ndo that for a week.\nNext week try 25 or 30. \nJust keep building it up.\nYou will eventually be fit enough to swim a few kms if you want.

You should DEFINITELY join! I have been swimming for a long time but i have also done other sports too. Swimming is definitely the hardest. You will have to work hard but don't even worry about your times compared to other people. You can't compare yourself to people who have been swimming longer than you. You should join your team and then focus on improving for yourself and work on beating your own times instead of other people's. It doesn't matter what other people are doing, just focus on improving for yourself.

I think this might be a case of an intersting phenonemenon, practice swimmers.  These are the people that can do a thousand set at 85% of their maximum speed and blow by many other people.  The other kind of swimmer is the race swimmer.  This swimmer doesn't know how to swim at 85% of their max speed.  They swim at 100% and about 40%.  These swimmers are often called lazy by their coaches and those practice swimmers.  The racer's 100% is usually faster than the practicer's 100%.  And the racer can usually swim at 100% for about 100 meters while the practicer can only do it for about 10m although they can swim at 85% for 6000.  \n\nSo before anyone gets cocky because they can lead 8x200 on the 2:05, remember that the only 200 that counts is the ONE on race day.  And the people that sit 3rd or 4th in your lane are usually the people that win that ONE.

anybody who is strong enough! It takes a lot of leg and core strength to stay in some of the positions that the swimmers are in

To Swimmer:\n\nYou better check your info.  Your figures are off a little.\n\nBrazil - 5 championships\nGermany & Italy - 3 championships\nArgentina - 2 championships\n\nAnd the last two won by Brazil were in 1994 (Penalty Shoot-out against Italy in L.A.) and then in 2002 not 2004, the world cup is played every 4 years.

5 names are just titles, they shouldnt be all that important. And umm...i guess that i just wanted to say that you are totally right about the whole swimming/gay thing. I hate it so much. I'm a girl and in the sport so i dont really have to deal with it as much but i hate it when my guys friends get pursicuted just cause they wear a speedo! Its so stupid but i guess thats just the way people are sometimes.

Well on the varsity swim team, in a two hour practice we swim round 6000-7000 yards in 2 hours.\nSets will vary, but usually we will do a long set (consisting of 1000 yards, etc. 10x100 on let's say...1:30. \nThen we'll do a shorter set, say 8x75's on 1:30.\nThen a long one, 3x500 on...7 min.\nThen @ the end of practice (last 15 minutes or so) we might play a fierce game of water polo!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure about the history behind it, but the Distance Medley Relay is run by 4 people, usually in the order of a 1200 meter leg, a 400 meter leg, an 800 meter leg, and finishing with a 1600 meter leg.

The idea of that drill probably originated at Texas.  They have an outstanding swim program. Eddie Reese is a top coach.

first of all, it matters how many people are on Ur team. If it is more than 5, then have 2 strong people in the front, 2 strong people in the back, and 1 strong person in the middle. the rest(if any more)will be in front of the middle strong person, and some will be behind.

There does not appear to be a published (at least on the web) list that shows the number of participants by country, but the site below does list the competing nations as well as the the total number of competitors...\n\nThere is a published book called "Complete Book of the Summer Olympics" by David Wallenchinsky. Published by Natl Book Network. You might find this in the sports section of your local book store or library, and this has the complete listing of nations taking part along with competitors, but not by nation either, just total
