If a swimmers legs are going side to side (fish tailing), what is a good drill to correct this?

My best guess would be that the swimmer whose legs are "fishtailing" (assuming this is swimming freestyle/crawl) is either swinging his/her hands wide on the recovery and/or reaching across his/her head on the hand re-entry.
Maybe the "zipper" drill or "catch up" drill focusing on keeping the elbow high, hand near the body on the recovery and straight ahead on the re-entry and catch.
But that's just me.
