To calculate the average speed of the swimmer, you can use the formula for average speed:

\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]

In this case, the total distance the swimmer swims is 20 meters, and the total time taken is 40 seconds.

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{20 \text{ m}}{40 \text{ s}} = 0.5 \text{ m/s}
\]

So, the swimmer's average speed is **0.5 m/s**.
