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.
Apart from losing weight, what has worked for you to reduce your stroke count per length?
I'm at around 18-20 with a six-beat kick. I don't feel I can reduce the count without adding an element of glide.
thanks
I have been working hard on my kick (first I had to learn to swim with 6-beat instead of 'maniac' kick, and also really working on my catch and being strong pulling through the entire stroke, mostly with pull buoy drilling. My DPS is much improved, though not exactly great.
