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,

Thanks for the comments. 13 to 14 strokes per 25 meters seems beyond my reach. However, I will keep working on improvement.Currently reading Breakthrough Swimming by Colwin,and enjoying it. Would appreciate comments concerning dryland use of stretch bands to improve strength. I assume improved strength will help reduce strokes per length.
