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,

Thanks for all the replies.
I swum friday and tried to remember: downhill, head low, press on arm pits amd keep back arched !!
I did have moments where I feel much flatter.
What really gets my gall, I was swimming next to women who had a excellent fast flat kick with a kick board and her head was completely out of the water talking to her buddy who was doing the same thing.
I still have all feb to work on it.:applaud::applaud:
Thanks,
