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.

  • After Hill Taylor's 1 stroke per lap 100 back in this video, you can see what 6 strokes per length looks like on a good breastroker. They were playing with a no 15 meter rule, but he was fairly close to being legit. And to answer your earlier question Elaine, backstroke spl should be lower than freetsyle just by dint of getting a good series of dolphins off of each turn. My stroke count is 8 per lap during a 200 back (+/- ten yards spent underwater.) Freestyle spl is 10/11 during practice. 14/15 on an all out sprint. (Height: 6'-3" Wing span: 6'-5".) Thanks, Quick! Wow, that's an incredible stroke count you have. :applaud: As for Hill Taylor, I wish I had a fraction of his lung capacity! :bow:
