Answer:

Pool:
1 lap: 100 m distance, 0 m displacement
1.5 laps: 150 m distance, 50 m displacement
2 laps: 200 m distance, 0 m displacement

Track:
1 lap: 200 m distance, 0 m displacement
1.5 laps: 300 m distance, 50 m displacement
2 laps: 400 m distance, 0 m displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance and displacement are two different things:

Distance is the full length you have traveled. For example, if you swim one lap around a 50 meter pool, you've traveled a distance of 100 meters (there and back).

However, displacement how far you are from the starting point. If you swim one lap around the same pool, your displacement is 0 meters since you ended up in the same place you had started from.
