Hi can anyone suggest to me drills to improve distance per stroke? or to reduce stroke per length. I find that my glide in freestyle is too short , example when i glide into a flip turn, sometimes i underestimate the distance and my leg does not bend much, and kick off with little power. Also i am trying to learn loping freestyle stroke now so i really want to improve my distance per stroke.
Any drill that works your shoulder roll. And making sure you finish every stroke completely, not pulling your hand out of the water early.
I'd think something like a catch-up drill might help, or modify the catch-up drill to leave your trailing hand at your hips (or lower) while you are on your side. There are other drills to work on roll, but I'm not quite sure how to describe them or what they might be named.
Relative to turns, you shouldn't be gliding in anyway; you should be working on carrying speed into each turn.
