When I swim freestyle continuously above my sustainable speed, the first thing which fails me is my deltoid - when fatigue set in I can no longer do a proper EVF catch and the exit is also affected as well.
However I've heard that the most used muscle in freestyle swimming is the lats, but I feel my lats only when I swim longer than 3k - by that time my deltoid have fatigued so much to the extent that it affects my swimming seriously.
What does the above symptom mean?

When we talk about stroke count, we count left hand then right hand entry as 2 (i.e. both hands are counted), right?
And why would the SPL be larger when sprinting 25 than going 500m? For me, it would be at the lower end of the range when sprinting. As long as I'm only doing 25 / 50 a single time, my SPL does not vary much between different speeds, but between 50 / 500, there is a great difference.
