I am so disgusted--I've done the TI drills, had lessons, had swim team college kids give me tips, yet I still just can't seem to get the freestyle arm action right. Do you exactly move your arm in the recovery phase the same as you move it in the fingertip drag drills? Or do you do a wind up motion of your shoulder to bring the arm out of the water? No matter what I try, I am so pathetically slow--more often than not, I am feeling like it is all wrong. I am a good breakstroker and decent flyer, and great backstroker, but geez, I need to be able to do the free - I swim about 12 miles a week. Any tips are sooooo appreciated.:bow:

Sorry for the confusion...that' why I hate typing/writing...the thoughts in my head don't translate too well once I try to type them out. I should have put in the direction of travel to help clarify thigns.
I have seen some people try to go vertical straight upon entry...it makes my shoulders cringe.
