I've been trying to reduce my distance per stroke for the last three months but whatever I do, I can't break the 18 strokes per 25 meter barrier. I stretch, I pull etc, but I just can't get there.
I think it may be because I'm not getting enough power out of the left side...I'm right handed and therefore tend to use that side of my body for the most power...any suggestions?

Hi all..thanks for all your suggestions. I've managed to break through the 18 stroke per 25m barrier! Now I'm shooting for 16!!
Most helpful were the tag and drag drill and slowing my stroke down by pausing before pulling.
I've tried to simulate sculling by I don't think I'm doing it right.
The more I pay attention (per the last post) I notice that my recovery after a turn is terrible. I twist and bend my body as I make my first stroke off a turn...poor streamlining...
Thanks again for all the help
