Head down in the glide! Why? Head down, hips up. Your goal is to streamline through the glide, where you can gain speed and save energy, as long as you do not prolong the glide. When you keep your head up, your hips drop and then you are creating resistance by exposing too much of your body to the water. So keep that head down between your arms as you drive your body forward with your kick.
