Here you see the way I swim now. I'm working on having good head alignment with a relaxed neck, minimal 2-beat kick, relaxed forearm and wrist "above water" during recovery. Continued goals: to keep hips high enough to allow a quick breath keeping one goggle eye piece underwater; to minimize hip drop during breath.
My mom has been working hard and is looking good: "hand in the pocket" gives her hips a nice lift which helps create a more horizontal floating position in the water, head is relaxed and has a nice medium depth in the water, and her 2-beat kick is very consistent. Goals: to be sure to delay the "pull" of the forward underwater arm.
