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.

Thanks for your input!:bow:
It was the orange beta. They have a short life span I believe.
Definitely go by what was suggested by Fresnoid and Kirk, probably in that order too (dropping head down can allow the other suggestions to take place more effectively). They are some of the best swimmers in the world for their age group and know their stuff.
