Several years ago, I learned a drill sequence that really helped my freestyle. Unfortunately, I have forgotten most of it, and my freestyle is very inefficient right now. I think the first drill was 'shark fin' and the second was moving back and forth from 'shark fin' to 'check your watch.' I believe there were about five or six drills total. Has anyone done or heard of this sequence and could remind me of the rest of the drills?

Those drill descriptions are helpful, but I don't think I fully understand all the switch drills. It looks like the point is to switch from floating on one side with the lower arm extended to the other side with the other arm extended. From the little video clips, it looks like the underswitch drill is basically an underwater recovery and the overswitch is a normal above-water recovery (please correct me if I'm wrong), but I don't understand the zipper switch. Is it a combination of the other two? What exactly is its point?
