As you can probably guess by my name, freestyle is a confusing stroke for me. What is the proper timing for the freestyle stroke? Should one pause briefly before trying to pull? Can kicking too much mess up the timing of the stroke? When you swim with a freestyle snorkel, how much does that slow you down? Should it be thumb first entry, pinky first or finger tip first? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. Have you worked with someone one-on-one to take a look at your stroke? I think that having someone (a coach) take a look at what you are doing when you swim then you can have some more specific feedback.
