Dear all,
i am from Delhi and there is no such coach who could teach latest swimming techniques. So information available on the internet and books is the only source for my guidance. I practice on my own. What i learnt till now, I am posting here aiming to get your guidance from all of you. Videos in the link are of few seconds. i would be grateful if you could provide tip on how I can improve my free style swimming. Awaiting your response eagerly. Thanks - Rajan
I apologize for my inability to combine all these videos in one.

Thanks for your guidance, i will try to implement your guidance in my strokes. 2 days before you answered my query, I got Total immersions DVDs. As you stressed on pressing the upper half, i would like to know how do we press the upper half when we move to our side.
Thanks Again - Rajan
Welcome Rajan. It looks like you have gotten hold of some Total Immersion DVDs or books, no? TI can be very helpful I think for a beginner like yourself, but it really depends on how you use it.
The most glaring problem I see from your videos is your balance. You are not yet comfortable in the water and your hips sink. To compensate you kick hard and fast, which will exhaust you pretty quickly. Slow down your kick and try to maintain balance by pressing the top half of your body downward. Make the top half of your body heavy and the bottom half light. You might want to do some balance stuff with both arms by your side until you get comfortable, and then extend one arm out to do the zipper, etc. If you have a pull buoy, use it occasionally just to get the feel of what your hip position should be like.
