I'm trying to get my arm reach more correct in freestyle ... so, I'm not sure where my arm should be (or where i should direct it?) as in enters the water through the reach and ending at the catching of the water with my hand.
...did that make sense?
Anyway, i've found that sometimes I direct my reach a little away from my head, and other times I'll focus it to be directly in front of my head ... they both feel okay, but I should pick one or the other ...
Also, i breath on my right side ... and i feel like I don't reach far enough/wait before the pull ... how long should a proper glide be?

I would think that you want to be a direct line or slightly wider than your shoulder, but not in front of the head.
If you go to www.goswim.tv, there is a new video of Olympian Scott Tucker swimming. You will see that if you draw a straight line from his shoulder to where his hand enters the water, that it is right in line there.
