Answer:

55.9 m

Explanation:

The pool measures;

Length = 50 m

Width = 25 m

Now, swimming from one corner to the other means swimming from end of length to end of width which will form a right angle triangle.

So the distance one will swim can be denoted by d and solved using pythagoras theorem.

Thus;

d = √(50² + 25²)

d = √(2500 + 625)

d = √3125

d = 55.9 m
