So, I need to pass a swim test do join Crew. I was wondering how long 200 yards is and how tiring it is to tread on the water for 5 mins. Thank you!

200 yards=600 feet.
In a 25 yard pool, that's 8 lengths (8 times back and forth).
In a 50 yd pool, that's 4 lengths.
It's really not very long.
Treading water for 5 minutes isn't very challenging unless you're extremely out of shape. Good luck!

Well, if you are in a 25 yd. pool (short course) you would only have to do 8 laps. If you are in a 50 yd. pool (long course) then you would only have to do 4 laps. 200 yards is 600 ft. if that gives you a better idea. :)

2 football field lengths. Treading water isn't really all that tiring unless you are in poor shape.

600 ft or a little over a tenth of a mile.
