    140 s. It would take 140 s to swim 0.150 mi.

    Step 1. Convert the time to seconds

    Time = 14 min * (60 s/1 min) + 34.56 s = 840 s + 34.56 s = 874.56 s

    Step 2. Convert miles to metres

    Distance = 0.150 mi * (1609.3 m/1 mi) = 241.4 m

    Step 3. Calculate the time to swim 241.4 m

    Time = 241.4 m * (874.56 s/1500 m) = 140 s

    (As of 2012, the men's freestyle record for 1500 m was 14:31.02.)
