What is the average stroke count for a 25 yd free swim? Assuming no block start? I'm trying to count mine and was wondering where I should be aiming for.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer for your question, to be honest. There are many factors that will change the answer- are you sprinting, doing DPS, just swimming regularly, what's your stature/gender/how long have you been swimming?
For example, I'm 5'11", in the women's 30-34 age group, with 24 years of swimming in my tank. When I'm just swimming, I'm usually around 12 strokes. If I'm sprinting, I'm more like 15 or 16 strokes. When working on DPS, I can get down as low as 9 (but it's slow and not a comfortable way to swim, for me).
So my final answer is, it depends.
