I've got a question: Isn't the number of strokes you take per lap also related to how tall you are? So, it would be harder for short swimmers to get a lower number, right?
As I understand how SWOLF is calculated, the pool size matters! The initial push after turns is the distance without strokes where the swimmer is fastest. At a smaller pool the swimmer makes more distance with fewer strokes, thus that should yield to better swim efficiency.
Okay, since I just discovered you, I will be bugging you with a bunch of questions for a month or 6…. You don't mention any difference between spring SWOLF and spring SWOLF scores. I would expect spring to have higher stroke per lap than distance. I do practice laps where I swim 'long and strong' arm strokes, and 'short and fast' strokes. Some times in sprints, I feel like I am burning rubber as in pulling so fast and hard that the stroke loses efficiency….

Very well explained and appreciated!
Awesome!!!!
is swolf of 39 any good? thank you

Great,thank you.
why would you add a quantity of dimension time with a dimensionless quantity? It will give you a number but, no a physically meaningful one!
