What stroke rate do you have in a 50 meter pool swimming the 50?
What would be a good stroke rate?

Here's mine. Very violent, very hard pulls at as fast of a stroke rate as I can go without shortening the stroke too much...

Far right lane. 25.99 in that race.
I can bump my stroke rate above that, but the stroke length has to get shorter at my current strength levels and speed drops. You have to play the "happy medium" game with stroke rate and stroke length so its not as simple for each person as asking "whats a good stroke rate".
