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 Alex -
I am 5' 8", 145 lbs, with proportional arms and legs to height. My wife thinks I might have slightly longer arms than normal, so, for what its worth, when I see how high I can reach standing flat footed, it is about 7 1/2'.
Today, I swam the hour postal swim. held 12 strokes per length for 20 minutes and 13 strokes per length the rest of the way - pace ranged from 1:10 to 1:13s per 100 yards.
