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.
What are you guys doing your 50's in?
Do us gals get to chime in here, too? When I'm not racing 5 events (including 400 IM and/or 200 fly and 200 breaststroke) and 2 relays per day at a meet, my breaststroke time is :40 or :41. (Darn it; I haven't been able to get back below 40 since 2011. :bitching:) My stroke count in those races is 10 off the blocks and 13 on the back half; too high, I know. I'm still working on it!
Typically, when I train 25's from a push-off, I'm coming in at :21 on 11 strokes; my average.
