I asked this question under workouts and got no response. hopefully better luck here.
When counting strokes where do you count from? Are you counting 1 arm? or is each arm rotation counted? If I count each arm rotation it takes my 16 strokes to cover 25 yds. What should a typical stroke count be?

The goal is to get maximum distance per stroke. Depending on height, technique and ability... stroke count will vary per person. For freestyle, I count everytime a hand pulls thru the water.
Work on distance per stroke in one of your sets once in a while. Stretch out your stroke, calm your breathing down, really work your pull.
Try to keep your strokes close to perfect - do drills and really concentrate on what you are doing. My former doc told me to really focus on correct technique and doing so should avoid some injuries.
