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?

Stroke count is an individual thing. I know fast people who take many strokes per lap. I know many fast people who take a few strokes per lap.
The number of strokes per lap should change (or will) and that is fine. If you are sprinting vs mid-distance vs distance, you will have a different stroke count. Your stroke count will also change during an event or practice. Be aware of that, it helps you with pacing. It is also a mind game to help forget about pain.
I'm tapped out. That's about all I know.
