I would use a pull buoy if I could. Anything else that works reasonably well (a particular speedsuit, etc)
Kick your legs?
you could try lying on top of a good swimmer…
eating more donuts should make your hips more buoyant.
In all seriousness, you probably just need to work on body position and getting a more forward lean (pushing the T).
core muscles??
Seriously undervalued by most average swimmers, - a strong core can do a lot to keep hips and legs from dragging
THIS
If your ass is going down, chances are your head\body positioning is wrong. These goggles help in the pool but I don’t kno how useful they will be in an open water because you will not be seeing anything.
Training goggle, proven to help correct body position and increase efficiency. Angled lens encourages correct head position. Frosted lower portion of the lens forces the user’s sightline upward. Endorsed by Bob Bowman, coach of Michael Phelps. Comes with 3 interchangable nosepieces. Not latex free.
if he lifted his head up, wouldn’t his hips go down?
The Blue Seventy pointzero3 will help keep your legs up. I assume that all similar speed suits would do the same. They’re not as effective as a wetsuit but it is noticeable.
Maybe, and I’m going out on a limb, but maybe developing correct body position will help.
Bollocks. Just get some fins.
Push your chest down. Hips come up guaranteed.

ARE YOU INSANE MAN!?! This is Slowtwitch! We don’t work on silly things like technique, endurance, or strength. We buy expensive toys to make us fast!
Go to a medical supply house and get yourself a urinary catheter and a big syringe. Insert the catheter into your bladder (be sure to use good sterile technique so you don’t come down with a fever by t2) and inject a couple of hundred cc of air into your bladder. You will feel like you have to pee but you will know you really don’t have to so you can hold it during the swim. After the swim you can let it go. Your competition will think you are passing gas but you will know better and will be able to smile smugly. This will help keep your hips up and, as far as I know, it is completely legal.
Can I charge more per month if I encourage them buy more toys?
front quadrant swimming.
you have to look out the top 1/2 of the goggles (forces sightlines upward) - making you lower your head to be able to see forward. A friend tried them and they seemed to help his specific problems.

Of course, everybody knows there are two things that make a coach great:
1.) They encourage the athlete to buy more toys. The toys make you faster, so the coach is therefore making you faster. The more expensive the toy is, the faster it will make the athlete, and the better the coach must be. So the best coaches recommend the most expensive toys.
2.) All good coaches cost a lot of money. You wouldn’t pay a lot of money for a bad coach. So if a coach is charging you a lot of money, they are obviously good and will make you a faster athlete.
So if you encourage them to buy new toys AND charge them a lot of money, you must be a coaching master.
Note: this is my patented coaching method, and I require a cut of the earnings from any coach who employs this method.
Get one of those CamelBack undershirts and fill it with air
.
doing the non-wetsuit swim in the ocean rather than in fresh water will do the trick.
Get a good but plug then eat lots of cabbage and beans for 2 days before the race
