I hate to bring up stroke count again.
What is your Timed Swim Stroke Count for front crawl.
SCM 50 or SCY 50 Push off start (no swimming under water for half the pool)
Commonly called golfing or swolf, I call it TSSC score.
My score at the moment 62 for 50 SCM.

George -- Can you elaborate? Maybe I'm counting something else, but I'll take a (pretty consistent) average of 14 strokes per length in a SCY pool. So that would put me at 28. But the faster I go, the more strokes I'll end up taking. 14 is what I do at my basic aerobic (do-it-for-a-mile) pace. On an average day I'll swim that at a little under 45 seconds per 50. On my best day I can sustain that count at a 40 second pace (maybe 41) but I can't sustain that for more than 400-500 yards or so. Anything faster than that, and my stroke count starts to rise. So I want to say my count for 50 is 28.
What am I missing?
