Ahhhh! No! I stated that poorly.
I'm only talking about the "arms forward" glide part.
I was squashing my arms against my ears. That puts the head slightly too high and hurts the glide. I get a much better glide just by moving my arms behind my ears. Only a matter of several inches.
Nothing beats good instruction...
Then I go back and look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO8bkqLQ-yU&feature=related
Yep, check out his head position. Watched that vid countless times and never saw it till I was corrected in swim class.
