So here I am, swimming my arms (OK, really just the shoulder) off, going slow. Trying to figure out why I'm soooo slow, but also pretty fit, I checked out U.S. Masters Swimming, which has some coaching articles (I'm a little too shy to just go up and ask the lifeguards what the hell I'm doing wrong).
Anyway, one of the articles said if you're taking more than 20 strokes per 25-yard length, you're pretty much broken. The same source pointed out that if you're being efficient and you're about my size, you should take 12 strokes (or so) to get down the pool. Uh, I take way more.
Now I have a much more interesting goal, to cut down the number of strokes I take!
