I'm not sure what other people consider "good", and I'm sure your height and stuff like arm length will have something to do with it. I'm 6' with a 6' armspan (square!) and I do 32-34 strokes per length at a warm-up pace, and more, probably 40 or so when I try to go fast. But I lose efficiency as I go faster. Apparently some people don't:

If the numbers are to be believed, toward the end this guy is holding 32 strokes per length going at a :51 pace (for a 50).
