10 miles/ 5min = 2miles per minute
35miles/17.5 min
35 miles - 10 miles= 25 miles remaining on her first swam
10 miles - 3miles because of the wave wash= 7 miles away
35 miles - 7 miles which she already swam= 28 miles remaining so if it will be swam in that pattern it will take 14 minutes she will be there after 14 minutes
