That's a lot of stroke for sure. If I work on a long stroke I can get down to just over 30 for 50 meters.

The stroke count for 50m is 51 strokes and speed is 50m per minute. My wingspan is about 72 inches. My coach tends to encourage me to stretch forward more on my stroke. Just wondering if those numbers seem to indicate I need to lengthen stroke or speed up stroke count. I'm swimming for distance more than sprinting. Thanks

Have you had your coach review your stroke form too?

The watch just counts the strokes of the arm the watch is on, so I doubled its count. I'll get a manual count tomorrow for 50m and repost. Thanks!

The math doesn't seem to be consistent. Are you counting each individual arm during the Stroke Rate calculation and two arm strokes (a complete cycle, one left & one right) during the Stroke Length calculation? A Stroke rate of 54 per minute and a Speed of 50-meter per minute comes out to a Stroke length of about 0.92-meters per stroke (54 strokes for a 50-meter).

How many strokes are you taking for a (1500 pace) 50M?
