Crossing over?

My coach often comments that I'm crossing my right arm over while swimming free. She tells me to make sure my hands are entering at 10 and 2. I can never feel when I'm crossing, but its usually when I get tired. Does anyone have some good drills for breaking the crossover habit? Rachael

  • My pinkie does not enter first on freestyle. Use a short piece of PVC tubing and do catch up with it. also sight more forward occosaionally and you can see where you hand is entering using peripheral vision. I see many swimmers who cross over have a lack of hip rotation and swim pretty flat. You should work on 6 or 12 kick switch drills.
