When swimming front crawl you want to ensure that your body is rotating in th
e
water versus swimming flat. An effective drill to develop good body rotation is the 6-kick,switch.
6 Kick Switch
First start by flutter kicking with one shoulder pointed up to the ceiling and the bottom arm in a streamlined position. Then take three strokes and do another six kicks on the opposite side. This drill establishes good body positioning so that you do not remain flat in the water.
