Jane Katz has a book for beginning swimming with good illustrations also (I'd give you the name, but can't remember it).
Wow, thanks! The USMS website looks really helpful. And I'll look up the Katz book.
We did one-armed fly drills on Wednesday and I found that helped a lot. I think going straight into it just confused me. We don't have fins but I might look into buying a pair if I get more serious about swimming.
