My drill of choice for assessing and developing smart core awareness:

Simply explained, obliques are being engaged to allow the body to flip from one side to the other. Hands finish the job with a slight sweeping action to provide propulsive forces.
Those who still don't engage their core correctly (regardless of the strength or tonus put to it) basically fail miserably at that one.

Good swimmers generally get this drill within the first 5 minutes in trying it. Those who are not as skilled, ie still learning the basics will rather need several weeks.
