Some bright stuff on Stroke Rate while swimming

Check out this great article and some calculators to analyse your stroke in the water.

I clocked my own stroke rate yesterday and found:

Swimming at pace: 1:50 min/100m, I do 48 strokes per minute and 44 strokes per 50m pool length!

Using the calculator, it gives me a time on 1h12m for 3.8km, which is not far off, considering the wet suit gives me an speed improvement corresponding to the 7-8 minutes I got in Challenge Copenhagen (T1 in 1h05m)

How is your stroke rate?? please comment!
