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.

Swimming with a lower stroke count can translate to faster times when a greater turnover is applied.
Most people don't swim with exaggerated strokes during a race, but swimming longer will win out over short and choppy strokes. Less drag and better body posture are two side effects of having a lower stroke count.
