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.

head down more and press in with your chest more to ensure you are "swimming downhill" per Terry Laughlin. A strong kick (albeit good to have) is not really the dropped hip problem, but better balance in the water.
