Folks,
Can some of you kind souls help me understand how I can improve my freestyle technique please. Horrible kicking style and lousy streamline. Root cause and any drill suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are two segments. Upto 2 min breathing on my left most-comfortable side. After 2 min or so both side breathing which I have been forcing to do - not comfortable at all. There are couple of views in each segment - about a 45-60 sec or so.

Hi V,
I am not qualified to help with your stroke issues (there are lots of very qualified folks here though) but I can tell you that, with respect to your breathing - with practice comes comfort. I spent the first 4 years swimming (35 years ago) breathing only to the left and mostly every 4th stroke. My masters coach badgers me to breathe every third stroke. I still end up sucking water a bit on the right hand breathes but it is getting easier and is slowly becoming "normal".
