Going Wide

My master's coach made a comment to me today. He said that my right arm enters a little wide for my shoulder, catches there and then comes back under my body. He says that I should be entering right in front of my shoulder,catching and letting the arm stay under the body. Any thoughts on how to correct going wide? What should I try? Possiblity of how it should feel? I have read that some people enter wide to correct crossing over. Seems to me that I might have the opposite problem then. Any other feed back is welcome too. Thanks David

    Thanks for the suggestions. Two questions for the both of you. If anyone else wants to respond, please do. Gull, how will bilateral breathing aid in my problem? I have tried it before but most of the time I end up going to one side. I am definitly willing to try it again to see if I can improve. Lisa, I spend a lot of time trying not to swim flat anymore. From what I have read, the traditional catch-up drill makes a swimmer go flat. Have you had this experience? How did you overcome it too? Thanks for your responses and continued replies. David
