Answer #1

For 100m race in a 25m pool, there are 3 changes in directions(So that that threre are 4 laps. SO total distance = 4*25 = 100m). When reached at the other end of the pool, the person can push himself and give himself a force so that he gets some acceleration. Due to the resistance the water some of the energy goes waste. So, it is difficult to get the same level of effectiveness if the person tries it in 100m pool(with just 1 lap and thus no force to help him to save some extra time)
