https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12703/suggestions-about-my-crawl-kickI&#39;ve been swimming most of my life (I&#39;ll be 56 this month).

The thing that has helped me a lot is using a snorkel on drill sets so I could keep my body better aligned and not having to turn to breath. Another drill I like is 6-3-6, where you do six kicks, three full strokes, six kicks, etc. only breathing during your full strokes. Unlike many of my Masters teammates, I love kicking and will normally do 400 - 1000 yds of kicking every day.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
