one i do most sessions is a fingertrail drill. from hand exit, try to drag the tips of your fingers along the top of the water.
find this helps with getting elbows high and hands in good catch position.
Ok, will give it a try!
I have to swim a mile tonight, so wish me luck!!

There is quite a few that go through a number of drills, all explained and demonstrated very well.
I guess its no subsitute for a coach, but its a good start.
Best of luck
I'll try there, thanks very much!

Try the Torpedo Drill (a series of drills explained across 4 x editions of 220 last year). It really gets your body rolling so you can aspire to become that 'blade' following your head through the water. You may experience near-drowning on the first couple of attempts but once you've got the body rolling far enough on each side, you'll breathe easily.

I will endevour to get 'torpedo' like!
