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.
Front Crawl Aug 2012 - YouTube
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.

Or you feel the cross over is so over the top that we need get that first? Curious.
Firstly, you are very welcome. And secondly to answer your question....yes. Once the cross over is eliminated things are going to fall in place much better. Like Paul just posted in his very thoughtful reply, balance is key.
Although this isn't typical advise, you may want to focus on swimming slightly more flat to help subside the tendency to roll too much. Here's a drill which may help refine your particular stroke: www.goswim.tv/.../freestyle---water-polo-wide-catch.html
