To find the distance of the swimming event, we need to subtract the distance of the running event from the total distance of the race.
The total distance of the race is 7.13 miles, and the running distance is 6.2 miles.
Distance of the swimming event = Total distance - Running distance
Distance of the swimming event = 7.13 miles - 6.2 miles
Distance of the swimming event = 0.93 miles
Therefore, the distance of the swimming event is **0.93 miles**.
The total distance of the race is 7.13 miles, and the running distance is 6.2 miles.
Distance of the swimming event = Total distance - Running distance
Distance of the swimming event = 7.13 miles - 6.2 miles
Distance of the swimming event = 0.93 miles
Therefore, the distance of the swimming event is **0.93 miles**.
