Today, my swimming coach made us swim fifty laps non-stop as punishment for his previous class being unable to swim a drill properly. They're 8-11 year olds who are still learning to swim. I feel like my arms and legs are filled with lead. FML

What an ass. Either way he's the teacher, it's his fault they can't swim.

How long is your pool? 25 yards? I can swim two laps with no breath.

Well 50 laps is only 1250meters that's some weak shit if you have a problem with that.

I remember when I was 13 and going for my Bronze Cross, one of the requirements was to swim 20 (or so) 25 metre laps in under 15 minutes. To go 50 laps continuously with no pressure of a time limit sounds easy. Although, you didn't deserve do have to do it simply because the class before you was displeasing to your coach.

50 laps isn't much, really, although it still isn't fair.. My coach made us do a mile (72 laps) nonstop for no reason, and I'm 14. If you pace yourself, you won't get too tired. Although I was pretty nauceous after all those flipturns.. :P

While 50 laps is a lot, it really just depends on the pace. That's only about two sets of 500's should only take 10-15 mins at Max.

Ouch. My high school swim coach had "Fly for Fun Fridays" They were not fun. All Butterfly, nonstop. We did at least 50 laps each Friday. Plus, our "warm up" was a 500yds of just freestyle, then a 500 of just kicking, and a 500 of just using your arms. Then we got to the fun stuff. I was in the best shape of my life those 4 years lol.
