Trying to figure out how to take a breath when my arm is extended vs 30- 40% down towards the bottom of the pool. Is it a timing thing? High elbow catch totally elusive as well. Late start in proper technique.
For swimmers that are in the learning stages as you seem to be, I recommend to look at the elbow as you work on your timing.
If you look at it as it starts come out of the water at the back of your pull , that is when you start to breathe in as it passes your face you drop your face back down into the water and extend your hand far forward. I know lots of things to think about and get the timing correct but, a few thousand strokes and it will feel normal!!
