Stroke Count and Distance Per Stroke

Coaches often come from one of two schools of thought...

'Distance Per Stroke (Stroke Count) ' or 'Stroke Rate' being the most important factor in speed.

This biggest problem with this single-focus approach is that it's missing an important piece of
the puzzle. It ignores half of the speed equation which is Speed = Stroke Length x Stroke Rate.

Imagine someone giving you a bike and telling you that the fastest way to ride is at 200 rpm.

You'd need to shift down into a tiny gear and pedal like crazy. With each push of the pedal
you'd only be travelling a small distance. It doesn't make sense.

It's about finding the optimum distance per stroke and stroke rate that suits you.

In previous videos we've talked about stroke rate - now let's look at the importance of
distance per stroke and how to increase yours.

Essential updates for your pool

Going the distance with ASA badges

Going the distance with ASA badges

For children, one of the best things about learning to swim is getting the rewards at the end.
Designed to complement the 10 stages of the British Gas ASA Learn to Swim Framework, the Rainbow Distance Awards are a range of bright, cheerful badges and certificates to help keep children motivated while working through the Learn to Swim stages.
This range of 19 awards increase gradually in distance to help swimmers develop their confidence, ability and stroke techniques.
And badges aren't just motivational for children. The ASA Adult Awards provide structured development and targets for adult learners to reward progress.
