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.
About 12 years ago a friend of mine,Bob Smith, challenged me to do this set he thought of, with him-5X50 breaststroke on the minute taking no more than 5 strokes after the breakout and keeping each 50 under 40 sec.Bob is a pure sprinter,6'4", who is great in all the strokes and always coming up with some set to work on and keep things interesting.Bob also has great pullouts so he started out with an advantage(I am 5'8".) I managed to do the set with him with in the parameters.I can't do it anymore,but I do regularly do 4X50 on the minute under 40 in 6 strokes.
