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 I pay attention to my stroke count in freestyle I count everytime my hand hits the water. and I also take notice to my underwater distance.
I think doing stroke count drills really helped my distance swimming this year.
when working breaststroke I only count my strokes after my underwater pullout. if my stroke count is high, then I first take into account the distance of my underwater pull out. I do alot of stroke counting when I swim anything over 100 at practice. since my biggest problem when racing the 200br is speeding up my arms, but catching less.
