Answer:

450 meters

Explanation:

First, we need to know how much one lap around the pool is.
You have to add LxW and in this case, multiply by 2.
50+25=75 75x2=150. now we need to multiply our answer by 3,
which represents the number of times they swam around the pool.
150x3=450. 450 is your answer.
