I know this is an old issue, but here goes. I am definitely overgliding - I am almost waiting for the recovering hand to enter the water before starting new stroke, much like the catch-up drill. My freestyle is slower than my breaststroke!
How can I stop? It feels like a lose balance if I don't have a hand stretched out in front of me.
Are there any simple things to concentrate on while swimming? (I don't feel confident in spending the money on the swimsmooth videos for overgliders.)
Any tips?
Thanks in anticipation

The only way to eliminate a habit is to replace it with another habit.
You're doing catch up stroke when you swim freestyle. Your hand enters and you glide it out front while your other arm pulls.
The replacement habit is to go right into your catch when your hand / arm enters the water.
It will feel funny. It's easier to do when you're sprinting.
