Two weekends ago we raced at a local senior meet. Of the many observations we noted that some of our swimmers swim
in “circles”. Some of these circles are more pronounced than others. We asked Audrey, since she has some brain power!
– to figure out how much extra yardage is navigated when something other than a straight line is swum. Some of your
swimmers might be interested in the chart below.
One other thing, we looked everywhere and couldn’t find any “cuts” for a 510.864 swim.
