I have a new swim student who learned a "version" of TI for his triathlons. He over rotates(turning almost on his back) when he breathes. I have worked with him on a couple of drills but they don't seem to be helping... I would love some suggestions for an effective drill that would help with this problem. He is committed to improving his swimming and I really want to help him improve.

TI side effects....
Normally, given a high elbow recovery, finger trailing drill can certainly be used to set the ideal angle of rotation. On each side that is.
Normally, the body shouldn't rotate more than what it needs to rotate to allow for the arm to recover outside the water whilst keeping the fingers very close to the surface. Since finger trailing drill gives the swimmer an immediate bio-feedback on how close the hands are from the surface, it can certainly be used for this purpose.
