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,

My impression is that speed derives from technique plus training. Have you read much on the subject? You might take a look at Swimming Fastest by Ernest Maglischo or Breakthrough Swimming by Cecil Colwin. Fitness Swimming by Emmitt Hines has workout suggestions which incorporate technique drills.
