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.
In looking back through my YouTube videos of freestyle swims (200/500 distances) I'm taking 15 strokes per length, after the initial 25/50 once I settle into my stroke. Related, in 25 meter pool races, I take 16-17 SPL in the same distances (200/400 Frees). I'm 5'9" tall, and feel like I have a good DPS, and a well balanced kick.
