How can I improve my dreadful but necessary freestyle technique?

Freestyle is also one of my bad points in swimming. With the head on you shoulder thing you just keep your arm up until the other hand enters the water. that gives you a boost. Also, start slow. You don't want to waste energy for things later on. My best stroke is troke. I plan to be in the Olympics. Hope this helps! lots of love....... SpeedyChickAlert
