A good 15 years since I dedicated time to simply focusing on posture and body position with respect to freestyle.

I had been swimming over 3 years incorrectly leading rotation with shoulders. This in addition to long legs made my feet sink, therefore with a buoy or wetsuit I was incredibly faster. This winter I attended a clinic and reread the material and finally something clicked (duh) - I need to rotate from my waist. This naturally helps lift my lower half. I know my hips sink when my left thumb contacts my waist during hand exit. Now, if I move my hip out of the way, I&#39;m in better position. Drills: 1) Flutter kick with snorkel, hands at sides (or behind, or in front) and rotate with hips 2) stand in front of mirror, head neutral, try to keep shoulders stationary while rotating hips axially. Try to keep entire axis straight (or streamline looking). Notice the muscles that do this and remember them in the water. 3) stand or sit up straight and try to be as tall as possible during everyday activities<div style="clear:both;"></div>
