After poking around here for a while and seeing good results from a lot of the stuff you guys have been discussing (an integrated kick, ankle flexibility etc etc.) I decided it was finaly time for me to attempt to integrate more of my core muscles into freestyle rather than simply trying to pull my way through practice.
So this brings me to my question, when I was attempting to integrate my core more, I was essentially using my hand as a lever against which to snap my torso, thereby bringing the pulling arm back and extending the other arm, is this the right idea or is there something else i should be going for?

The hand and forearm are connected to the core by tendons and muscles. It all happens automatically. I can tweek a muscle in your back and you can feel it in your finger tips. I can tweek a tendon in the front of your shoulder and your leg will jump up and down.
This video of DEM Bones shows how they are all connected www.youtube.com/watch
Some believe you have to wait for things to happen. Just swimming will make it happen.
I am sure it will happen naturaly with a little help from a good instructor/coach.
