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
I find it difficult to rotate hips beyond half my normal freestyle rotation. Shoulder flexibility will take the bulk of this restriction (so it is important to keep them relaxed at recovery). Also try to only pull back, and expect speeds close to sprints.
I can't breathe with this drill without loosing my rhythm so I either go 25 hypoxic or use noseclip and (as Rich mentioned) snorkel
