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.

Man I'm still way off on my br counts too then.... I was going sub 20's on 25's and about 50 on my 50's last night and was no where near that low. My glide is non existent!
I paid attention to stroke count per 25 yards yesterday.
Warm up - 11-12
Cruising 50's at :35 on a :50 interval - 13-14
End of a set of 8 50's on a :35 interval - 17 (and it was gonna get worse if the set was any longer)
Wow. That is awesome. How far are the pullouts?
What were his fastest times??? Man that is impressive for you especially at being only 5'8. You must have some massive kick and pull.
ithinki finally mywifeinto ideo taping so can get an idea f ow y form looking rd to getting critique
Is that a first for this forum? I don't think anyone's ever managed to post while underwater before. :applaud:
It is amazying. I posted them not to show what has to be done, but what can be done. Everyone is different, but we all strive for the lowest stroke count while maintaining our tempo.
wow - those two videos were a true education for me - amazing! I'm psyched when I get a length of 12 spl every once in a while during a moderate swim. Faster swimming puts me in the 15+ range.
Nice to see what's possible.
I presume we are talking about 1 set/ two arms. If so, then I do 25 meters with 10 stroke sets.
No, most people are talking about each arm pull being considered one stroke. So 10 would mean five "sets" in your parlance.
