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.

When I swam the long distance races, I turned over at race pace 60 - 62 strokes a min the other guys did anywhere from70 - 75 per minute. We were all tired after the race. A swimmer we called Windmill Willie did 100 strokes a minute and Gambi an Italian also did 100 a min.
Knelson... It is flawed however the secret is to swim fast with a slow turnover. So you must become more efficient in swimming and get the most out of your efforts. When I raced the 100 every one said if I tried harder I would be faster. I was turning over slower than any one else yet I was putting out the best I could and did beat a lot of guys who turned over faster. In the 1954, 55 and 56 I was rated in the top five sprinters in the world. I had to be efficient as I was only training 800 yards a day.
