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.

that was without a pull buoy
well, if you neglect the size of my built-in rear flotation device ;)
No, not 10 cycles (that would be 20 strokes)
1-left 2-right 3-left 4-right 5-left - breathe - etc...
I think I did 5 count breating on that one.
They were long and stretched out and not very fast.
The major progress was that I was able to stay in the streamlined position for a long time, and continue to glide along, even if slowly, without having to take another stroke or getting out of balance.
