I have managed to reduce my stroke count for 25metre laps but have not reduced my time at all.I feel that it is because my tempo rate has dropped.Are there any ways that I can increase it?.At the moment for 400 metres freestyle my tempo is currently 1.50 secs per stroke.How can I improve my tempo without sacrificing the longer strokes that I am now swimming?:D

Is your stroke count less because your stroke is more efficient or simply because you're gliding and/or swimming a catch-up style? Unfortunately I'm not aware of any shortcuts to speed other than more training.
