I'm a newer Older swimmer, age 66, my 25 meter time if I go hard is 45 seconds.
The Pull Buoy is my best friend and knocks 12 seconds off my 25 meter time, that more then 25% faster.
I have read all the articles on hips drop, which mine do, but would appreciate any drills, suggestions or other choice comments.

could be a lot of things
I bet dropping hips are a symptom of different problems
one guess is you need to get more out of each pull
improve your technique, strength, and conditioning
How many strokes does it take you to swim a 25?
a stroke is where you move one arm one cycle
start with one arm out front, press underneath, recover up top
when aone arms gets back to where it started that's one stroke
if you're 25% faster with a pull buoy
adding floatation to your legs really improves your speed
so I believe you definitely need to improve your kick
do ideas from
Help My Flutter Kick is Horrible
I bet you need to improve your pushoffs and streamline glide
You might need to improve your head / body position
Your head needs to be neutral, look down at the bottom of the pool
It would really help to see what you're doing in order to correct it
otherwise we're just taking stabs in the dark
make a video of you swimming
post it on youtube
