I posted a question -"Can you still be a real swimmer if you can't swim freestyle?" (crawl). This was taped a year ago. Since then, I've straightened head position so that I am looking down at the bottom of the pool. My kick is still awful, despite being an ex runner for 30 years. I do plenty of kickboard and no kickboard drills to improve my kick, with little results. I think my underwater pull is better, although I still sometimes drop my elbows. I'm so confused--I've done all the TI drills, and others given by swim team swimmers, and have watched countless videos. This stroke eludes me and it makes me crazy.

Steve, sorry about your little fighting fish. They are my favorite, but they don't seem to live very long - had them in filtered, unfiltered, heated, unheated tanks, from 2 to 20 gallons with no success - the longest they've ever lived for me was 1 1/2 years. Which fish did you view? My orange boy, or my white one? Is that all you were able to view? That shouldn't have been in the link. Oh my..............
