The effect of lactate production on acidosis has been the topic in the field of exercise physiology. The production of lactate does result in a hydrogen ion, potentially resulting in a fall in pH. However, the hydrogen ion is quickly buffered by bicarbonate which forms an intermediary in the blood stream which is quickly converted into water and carbon dioxide. For data collection a sample of 15 swimmers had been selected through purposive sampling. All the swimmers had represented their state in swimming for more than 3 times and were comfortable in doing individual medlay. Their age ranged between 21-25 and all belongs to Maharashtra state. shows the descriptive statistics of the data which has been collected at various time interval. According to the table the mean value of lactate level at initial level or resting lactate value of the subjects is seen as (2.31 + 3.867). After performing 200 IM at intense level the peak lactate level of the subjects was seen as (12.65 + 4.654). Further the period of active recovery is started and the mean lactate value at first 5th minutes was (6.71 + 3.795), 10th minute (6.32 + 3.688), 15th minute (5.65 + 0.568), 20th minute (5.17 + 0.524), 25th minute (4.82 + 1.072) and 30th minute (4.37 + 2.397). All these readings of lactate have been taken while active recovery was continued. Then at 50th minute of passive recovery the lactate value was (3.11 + 0.536), 70th minute (2.21 + 1.134), 90th minute (1.12 + 0.012). the initial value of lactate in swimmers' body was found to be 2.31 mmol/L but after performing an intense event of 200IM the lactate value bumped to 12.65 mmol/L which was proved to be the result of byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis. The value proved that the nature of the activity was mostly anaerobic which was our aim. During first 5 minute 46.95% of the lactate was removed, 10th minute 50.04% of the lactate was removed, 15th minute 55.33% of the lactate was removed, 20th minute 59.13% of the lactate was removed, 25th minute 61.89% of the lactate was removed, 30th minute 65.45% of the lactate was removed. We can conclude from the calculated and tabulated data that over all 90 minutes are required by an athlete to remove most of the lactate (90%) formed during the anaerobic glycolysis.
