Do you do DPS drills?
We did some yesterday, and I was able to do 10 (25Y pool) - without kicking.
last time I really paid attention and counted in this kind of a drill was about 2-3 months ago, and the best I could do was 13 with a rare 12, and those were with kicking.
So, Improvement !!! Gotta love it.

Don't wait for your coach, simply count your strokes for a length, then concentrate on how you could become more efficient. Work on taking a stroke off in the next length.
When I am passing another swimmer, I try to stretch out and glide past as opposed to speeding past. See if that idea works.
Remember that there is an aspect of critical velocity. Where it is not as efficient to have too long a stroke and loose the efficient forward even momentum. Your coach will be able to tell you this.
