When kicking and to bring your leg up have it straight activating your glutes and lower back, right now you are bending the knee to bring your feet up.

You can practice this movement laying down on the floor or bed and just bringing your leg up straight.

You are pulling with your elbow first, you need to “open your elbow to the side so it gets in the same line as your hand and you pull with your hand/forearm. You might need to work on your shoulder mobility in order to achieve this. Mobility videos

You are taking your head out too much to breath and too long remember it should only come out half of the face.

Here we can se better your pull, you are pulling with your arms straight, bend your elbow more.

You are pushing the water down more than backwards, remember that you want to move forward and in order to move forward you have to pull the water towards your feet, this will increase the speed and will make you float more.

Areas to work on, in general:

• Work on one thing at the time. Focus on correcting your pull, then once you correct it go to the next point.
• Lots of improvement from the first day to the next ones, specially on your legs.
• Sometimes is good to forget about the technique and just try going faster, by pulling strong and getting your kick up in the surface is going to help you bring your legs up.
• Work on your ankle flexibility, do dryland training these videos can help you: videos
