I think that the most important aspect to great swimming is your ability to feel the changes in water pressure on your hands, body and feet as you're slicing through the water. The better your "feel" for the water is, less effort you'll put into your swim with fewer strokes per length. Working on DPS should be every swimmers priority when training in the water.

starting off with the left arm
left arm pull = 1 stoke
then right up pulls = 2 strokes
that'd be correct, right? if so, i got down to 14 without kicking.
i've been a little drunk and hungover this weekend haha...usually not this mentally out of it with questions concerning swimming
haha
but yea, i definately agree with the better you "feel" in the water, the better you swim. i couldn't kick on friday because of my ankle, hurt way too much, but i did pretty decent considering i haven't swam in a long time.
