With a swimmer that is using a rather straight arm pull, at least to the point where the hand is under the shoulder/the arm is vertical, what sorts of drills or focus points will help them move to/practice more of a high elbow/bent elbow style beyond just explaining/showing them the high elbow pull?

There are some world class swimmers with straight-ish arm recoveries, but in a sport as complex as swimming, its difficult to say whether they are world class because of their straight arm recoveries, or despite their straight arm recoveries.
