For a 54-year old (that's me), which is more critical to limit the potential swim speed between flawed technique and unathletic strength?
Well, I'll actually try to improve both. However, many people around me mainly focus on swimming more laps and gym workout, while don't bother about improving their technique at all, despite their techniques being far from efficient.
Definitely technique over sheer strength. When I coached hockey, we taught kids to do it slowly, but correctly, then once they had the skill down, let them speed up while continuing to advise their technique. Efficiency makes you faster by default, I think.
