Hi,
I am based in England and I need some advise as to how I can speed up my freestyle.I am currently able to swim 25M laps in 20 strokes.However my time has not dropped despite the fact that I am doing the laps in less strokes than before.Does anyone have any tips as to how I can get my time down without losing the efficiency of stroke rate that I have established.
Thanks in advance,

While you are both justly proud of your stroke length, you should not stop trying to improve it. I take 13 - 14 strokes for a 25 meter length, at about 20 seconds/length. If you work it out, our stroke periods are about the same (20/13.5 ~ 30/20). At your level there is much more room for improvement in improving your stroke, than in stroking faster.
