Slow getting the legs to stop sinking. I was told a long time ago to get the body into the water. Extend the arms just before entry and the legs will stay up. Make sure we roll and finish the stroke as low on the thigh as possible.
So when I have someone whose legs sink I get them to front load and finish low on the thigh.
