So recently my friend recorded me doing some easy laps in a 25 meter pool. I saw that my stroke was not really as good as I thought. Here is a link to it 28072011016 - YouTube (Sorry for the bad quality) . I compared my stroke to people like Cesar cielo , weber gale , Fred bousquet etc. and found out that those strokes are much superior to mine. Plz give me some tips on how to improve the stroke and make it as good as those guys.

I also have a few specific questions :
1) at this speed I am swimming with a front quadrent arm stroke but to do the 50 FR one has to use the rotary arm stroke ( one hand entering the water and the other one almost finished pulling) to reach full speed . So should I always swim with a rotary arm stroke throughout the whole workout or should I do the easier ones FQS and only use the rotary pattern when doing faster stuffs ???? I saw weber gale and cesar cielo using the FQS pattern while doing easier stuffs in some clips. so what do I do ???
2)should I always use a 6 beat kick throughout a whole workout or should I do the 4 beat kick for longer stuffs and 6 beat for faster ones ?? also should i always kick high out of the water even during the slow laps ??? some people told me to kick high all the time but I find that extremely hard , after a couple of laps doing that I am almost out of energy. so guys what can I do ???
ALL your tips will be greatly appreciated. THANKSSSSSSS.
