I captured 30 laps in the Lazy River. I figure we completed around 50 laps total so a good sample from each vacation day was captured. Here are all 30 laps charted:
Average: 1:33.19
Max: 3:32.56
Min: 52.46
Std Dev: 31.46
Runs 12 and 13 were actually laps that I took in a tube letting the current do the work. Interesting that one lap took me 3 minutes and 32 seconds in the tube, while Lap 13 only took 2 minutes and 23 seconds in the tube. Run 12 I must have been behind some loafers with a blatant disregard of good Lazy River lap times. Sheesh people.
I removed Run 12 and 13 in the chart below. This chart shows the laps where I was either swimming, walking, or a combo of both.
Average: 1:27.13
Max: 2:28.77
Min: 52.46
Std Dev: 20.59
The distance information about the Lazy River is not on the web site. After a quick chat with an online rep, they gave me the number to the local location to ask them. After about 4 rounds of sitting on hold waiting for someone to pick up, I finally talked to a nice lady who was a bit puzzled by my request. She did however ask around for an answer. She finally came back to the phone and gave me a guesstimate of 50 yards. I am not sure how accurate that is but it is really all I have to go on at the moment.
Using the rough estimate on distance (150 feet) I came up with the following info.
- Average Feet Per Second: 1.7241
- Average Miles Per Hour: 1.17555
- Laps per Mile: 35.2
- Miles Traveled: 0.852
So there you have it. Lazy River Speed Runs 2014. There are a lot of variables here including loafers, number of kids hanging off of me, water temps, overall exhaustion level, etc. Its another data set to consume none the less.
