Answer
Sumit--
The best way to swim in a straight line is to follow the lane line or line on the bottom of the pool. As for your kick, it's just a matter of concentrating on keeping your feet moving. Keep in mind, the kick in freestyle is more for keeping your body aligned, not necessarily for speed.
