Struggling with sinking legs during freestyle swimming? The most common mistake is treating it as a fitness issue rather than a mechanical one. If you lift your head, your body acts like a teeter-totter, forcing your hips to drop. Fix your posture bury your head, engage your core, and generate forward lift.

Swimming Tip: If you struggle with sinking legs, stop kicking harder. It's likely a buoyancy issue caused by head position.
Think of your body as a see-saw. Your lungs are the pivot point. If you lift your head (even slightly) to "stay up," your legs have to drop.
The solution is the "Sink-to-Float" drill. It teaches you to press your chest down and trust the water's support.
