I liked the time, but the more I look at this the more I don't like what I see. A few things I noticed.
I felt like I had a great reaction time, but by the time I break the surface the guy two lanes over has already taken a stroke and is a yard ahead. I kni it's hard to tell without seeing the underwater, but did I go too deep/stay under too long?
Obviously did not go down the center of the lane, that's a problem.
Looking at my stroke the way back it looks to me like I am taking my arms out of the water too far, driving my head down and creating a "V" Am I seeing that right? If that's the case, what drills can I do to fix that in practice.
Anything else?

Would it be possible to not slap the water so hard? Srsly, you got me all wet there.
Heh. j/k to a point. Aside from what you pointed out already... it does look pretty good already. A tiny bit less stroke rate, you might get more distance out of your pull without sacrificing speed. This may also allow you to place the hands into the water a little more, rather than slapping the whole straight arm into the water creating a boatload of turbulence that you can't "grip" as well. There may be a little wheelspin in that stroke when you pound it out that fast.
Just my thoughts on it anyways. :)
What was the time in that swim? 24.xx ?
