#4/3# laps per minute

Explanation:

The unit rate, in this context, would be to find out how many laps the swimmer can swim per minute. To do this, we need to divide the number of laps done by the time limit that it was done in.

#4 div 3 = 1.33333...# which you can also say it as #4/3# laps per minute because rounding might be a little inaccurate.
