Hello, I am realatively new to swimming and I would like some advice about stroke rate.
I am currently swimming on a 25 yard pool and when swimming freestyle I do about 20-22 strokes (10-11 stroke cycles). I start in the water witout pushing against the wall at all everytime I do the count. I am a 28 year old man 6' 1'' tall. Are my numbers OK? or should I have less strokes?
Also I would like to begin training for 100 meter freestyle races. Could anybody provide me with an average trainning schedule for an entire season. My personal goal is to swimm 100 meters in or below 1 minute and I hope I can achive that by next year. I would like to know, how many times a week should I train, how much time, what distances, type of workout, etc.
Many thanks in advance.
