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?

  • When your maximum velocity, sprint or personal best time, for a given distance, goes down and your stroke rate for that distance goes down, it is the objective measure of improved efficiency. Good point, Tom. If you can cut your stroke rate, but this causes you to swim slower it's not an improvement.
