Freestyle - High Hips
It's amazing what having your hips just a couple inches higher in freestyle can mean to your efficiency and speed.

Freestyle - Eyes UP Catch
Getting stuck in a swimming mantra, or a generally accepted "way" to do things, is very typical of all swimmers. Breaking through to find the way that works specifically for YOU is atypical, but necessary for you to reach your potential. The mantra that yours eyes should be looking DOWN is one of those mantras that each swimmer needs to examine for him... or her self.
