Everything I've read emphasizes a low stroke count, but I've yet to see a number. What is the optimal number of stroke counts for 25yd. freestyle?
Does a person's height influence someone's stroke count? Gender? Strength? Fitness? Endurance?
I've got my own theories, but would love to anyone else's.

I have found a great thing for me to do is swim for at least 45 minutes straight and not allow more than 16 strokes/25 yards. If I go over I add a minute more.
