I have always had a problem keeping my legs up on my Crawl stroke. I'm 66 a new swimmer ( 3 years ). My masters coach has gotten my arm stroke straighten out, no pun intended, so I do catch the water and keep my elbow up.
But he continues to tell me I drop my hips with many suggestions like drop my head, swim down hill, suck up my butt, push my chest down. But I still have a problem.
In fact I really don't care if I have a good kick, I just don't want my legs to sink and slow me down.
Are their any dry land drills that will help me,
I am devoting Jan & Feb to improving my technique and the hell with any endurance training, so I still have 36 days left to get my legs up.
Thanks,
Bob
One thing I remember from the TI stuff I've seen is the notion you should "swim downhill". I suspect it's George Park's motto as well given that's the name of his website. In fact, if you Google for "swim downhill" you'll see it pops up all over the place.
