Calculating Maximum Speed of a Swinging Girl

[spaumn]

A girl swings back and forth on a swing with ropes that are 4.00m long. The maximum height she reaches is 2.00m above the ground. At the lowest poing of the swing, she is 0.500m above the ground. What is the girl's maximum speed?

The answer is 5.42m/s, I just need to know how to do the problem.
