1. Go to the center of the pool
2. Observe where the wolf is located
3. Run to the opposite edge from where the wolf is located

Example:

Pool Radius = 7 m

Swimmer Speed = 7 m/s

Wolf Speed = Swimmer Speed x 2 = 14 m/s

Wolf Distance to Opposite Edge = 2/2 x 22/7 x 7 = 22 m

Wolf Time to go to Opposite Edge = 22/14 = 1.57 s

Swimmer Time to go to Wolf Opposite Edge = 7/7 = 1 s

Time Difference = 1.57 - 1 = 0.57

Swimmer reach the opposite edge 0.57 s before the Wolf

just get out of the pool, that's how you escape , get out. Who cares if the wolf is twice as fast , the question was how can you escape the pool, you get out by pulling yourself up and moving your body over the edge of the pool.

Go 1/4 the distance along the radius, by that time wolf might have reached half the way along the radius. Now take a deep breath, swim from inside the water and bypass the wolf under the water and reach the edge.
