I’ve tried searching for the answer to my question but I've been unsuccessful, so here goes – another newbie query:
If I’m swimming 24 strokes* per length (75 feet) am I really a terrible swimmer? I’m 5’7” w/what I suppose is an average build… :confused: Any suggestions for improvement?
Thanks!

*And just to clarify, by strokes I’m referring to swimming freestyle - right hand in equals one stroke and then left hand in equals two strokes, etc., until I reach the end of the lane.

I never counted strokes before. Technical proficiency, speed, endurance, aesthetic beauty, etc. all could provide a measure of one's proficiency in swimming. If you enjoy it and it provides you some benefit (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, comical, etc.), why care how many strokes you take in a 25?
