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.

  • We do it quite a bit as a short warmup set, but I have to say I think it's a little flawed. The idea is to get the lowest combined score, but really the only thing that matters in swimming is the time. If someone can swim a 19 second 50 free, but it takes him 50 strokes, why is that worse than swimming a 19 second 50 free in 25 strokes?
