Having difficulty trying to master this supposedly simple swimming style. Still working on the corkscrew recovery into the "Pull No. 2" for the full sidestroke. Initiating the scissor-kick move is ok so far, just the transition through the full cycle. Tendency to sink too fast, somehow related to what I feel as the scissor-kick effect causes excessive drag and hence losing buoyancy. Also, seems to me I'm optimally balanced on my right side, and can't do as well on my left. Overall, I find this swimming style to be extremely efficient for long-distance swimming, more so than breaststroke.
