Dropping Hips Problem

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. Bob:fish2:

Bob:fish2: 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.
