One of the lifeguards at the pool told me today that he noticed that my right elbow clears the water higher than my left elbow. I have been aware of this for a while but haven't done anything about it.
In fact, I am all right-body. I breathe only to the right. My right arm is more developed than my left arm. My right arm pulls effortlessly past the hip whereas my left tails off near the waist. My right leg kicks with a strong THUMP THUMP and my left with a whimper.
What exercises should I be doing in the pool to correct this imbalance?
What exercises should I be doing out of the pool?

PS. I borrowed the term 'ugly' side from another thread. It was coined by someone else (sorry, can't remember who) and used to refer to the weak side.
Just took a really long slow look at it. It appears that his right arm bends at about a 90 degree angle during the pull and his left is much straighter. Just wondering if i was seeing it right. Not that it matters much to him as he is just ridiculously fast :-)
