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.

From everything I've read, the idea of getting a low stroke count in practice is to "drill" good technique into your brain. Then when you are racing or sprinting and don't have time to think about your technique it will be automatic because you've practiced it.
To me it makes alot of sense because everything in life is this way - the more something is practiced, the more it will become second nature and a habit.
I've never read anything that emphasized low stroke count during competition.
