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?

not sure
www.youtube.com/watch nuts. You're right though, he's not keeping his hand in front of him. His stroke rotation is also .5 seconds long, and he's able to finish each stroke properly. What I envisioned when I heard "arms attached to the core" was a person swinging their arms wildly, constantly bent, finishing while hitting their body underwater, or not turning their shoulders at all, but you will notice that his arms are straight at his finishes.... not to mention every other part of his stroke lol
