My freestyle is ok but problem is my mate noticed that I use right arm swinging action higher than left one so I have problem that both arm as equal as I tried but not working so any suggestions to correct it? thanks

Hi James
I have a very similar problem...I suggest you Video-Evals.
My left arm swings and swings with a low elbow recovery while my right arm recovers pretty nicely with a high elbow recovery. The reason is lack of rotation to my right side.
So watch your rotation to both sides and don't swim to flat.
