Stroke count?

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.

  • How do you do 6 strokes total (i assume for each 25) and still go low 40's? Man that is impressive. What are you best 50 times then? Man... I have a ton of work to do. I'm still sitting at 15-17 per 25 and doing around 40-45 in my sets. I must just have either really weak pulls or really weak kicks or a combo of both. I think this refers to my post. It is Br, 6 strokes per 25, after pullout, about 22 seconds per 25. My 50 is probably about 32 right now, probably 11-12 strokes on the back 50 on a sprint. I am training for the 200 Br, and my goal is to get those 6-stroke repeats under 40. I have been working on this (DPS) for a few years -- mostly by doing underwater breaststroke drills. It is all about learning to position your body to glide, and I am actually not all that good at it. I am built like a barge.
