Many swimmers favor a side. Drill work ends up becoming important in this respect. Drill work will educate your body to less favor one side over the other. If you go on USA swimming's website you can access some drills for the freestyle.

I'm very visual so I need to see to correct...

sorry that I can't be of more help.
That's okay. I new once I finished typing all that ... I must be smoking crack to think I could properly put it in words. :p

I'll take a look at the drills. Thus far, I've had no formal swimming instructions so there's no telling what all I'm screwing up on. And I don't have a way right now to video or anything so I'll just keep watching videos on line and reading. I'm pretty sure my form has gotten some better if speed is anything. There are times I actually feel like I'm riding a wave. (does that make sense) Those are the times that I can fly across the water.

I was performing strictly laps for several months. This morning I incorporated some sprinting in there for the first time. Wore me out but felt like a better work out over all.

Again, welcome and thank you so much for your insights.
