David,
That technique your coach was talking about, rotating from side to side is what Total Immersion is all about. Total Immersion They have books, dvd and coaches that will teach you that form of swimming.
I've been swimming the way I have (stomach down) for 30+ year and it's been hard learning this new form. Swimming is my best thing and I still do very well swimming the way I do.
Hope this helps,

Image your hand out, palm down, and you have a ball berring on your hand. You want to roll the ball berring across the top of your hand, but its not rolling off. Your body should be moving like that.
Some people roll more than others. Look at the thread about pro videos. There are lots of examples of how you should look while you swim.
