Hava a problem in that when swimming when taking a breadth my head is going up and then around to the side[almost in a circle] which forces my hips to drop[there goes my body position....was tols to try and swim with a tennis ball under my chin...tried this but could not keep tennis ball under my chin when i would take a breadth...any other suggestions or drills would be most appreciated....thks. |

Squeeze your ear into your armpit when turning to breath. Practice swimming on your side, arm outstreched, taking 6 kicks and then changing sides. Breath as you change sides keeping one ear and one goggle in the water and snap the head straight back into the water. |
