6 kick switch (freestyle drill)

This drill can be used effectively for feeling the length of the stroke and proper alignment. Moreover, it's a very good drill if you want to teach core centered swimming. You kick on your side for six kicks, your low arm is leading, the other arm is at your side. You then switch sides and arms positions and repeat. A more advanced version of this drill is with your face in the water while doing the kicking. You can also have your fingers touching the side of your body while switching sides and arms positions like you have a zip on your side and you are trying to zip (or unzip) it. This tip will also help you maintain a relaxed high elbow recovery.
