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.

Well.... I don't feel as bad now.... I'm 6'2 255, I have done 6 pool workouts in the last 2.5 weeks after a 25 year break. I am currently 36. I am weak cardio-wise. I haven't done much running since college and my core is weak at the moment. Fairly strong upper body. People think I played football in college with the way I'm built...they laugh when I tell them I was a 175-180 lb triple/long jumper!
Primarily I will be doing short events 50 free, 50 br. As I build endurance I'll pick up 100 free, 50 bf and eventually 100 IM. Its amazing how after each night in the pool I feel better and better about my stroke and my breathing. The first night I went I did 400 yards TOTAL and wanted to die.... Last night I did 1400 yds and was tired but no where near as bad as 2.5 weeks ago.
