Deceptively demanding to get right, but easy to do wrong. Take your time over it, and get it right!

+Antara Arvind There is a whole dos of different reasons for this happening, but this is a great example of functional core and stability which is lacking to your non-dominant side. Do you still have your head pointing forwards?

My head is not pointing directly forward in either hand position. The problem is quite bad on the dominant side and is quite forgiving on the . How do we get core stability. I have tried sucking in the belly button as much as possible to get a stable core.

+Antara Arvind Core stability can best be developed with a specific strength and conditioning coach or through one of our coaches. We couldn't really say specifically without seeing you swim/how you moved. Planks or Bunkies tests are a good place to start. As for the head position it doesn't need to be pointing directly forwards, it just needs to be staying still on a line pointing forward. I.e. inline with the black line. Does that make sense?

Thanks a ton for the tips. Will endeavor some more and get back.

+anil mathew Mainly from taking a breath and the slower speeds of the swimmer. As a guy, he is less likely to be quite so buoyant, hence the relatively low hips. Also, due to the fact that the feet are kicking along the horizontal, and not the vertical, the adjustment of balance gained by the swimmer's legs is less than it would be if he was kicking vertically. That said, it could be a lot worse. Notice, the drill is less about the position of the swimmer from that position rather the alignment which is longitudinal.

He has a little bit too much of a gap between head and arm which causes the hip to drop. If he raises arm closer to head that will flatten him out.
