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.

@ debugger : First of all I am sorry if I had been rude before. Anyway I also think 24.6 is not too bad. Couple of months ago I tried to swim with a team. The coach was constantly criticising me for my aerobic capacity. He just talked about my negative sides in swimming in a very negative way. It discouraged me. He and also other coaches always told me that 50 FR is not a real race and it was very stupid for me to do it only. They wanted me to do the 100 and other distances. I couldn't stand those things.There is not really any problem working on my aerobic capacity but when I used to work on it with that team I was constantly falling a loooooooot behind them and it was very discouraging. The people that I trained with were in a far better aerobic condition then me so it was THE problem. But hey thanx for the encouragement.
@speedo : The most important thing that I found in swimming is that one has to be very veryyyyy consistent in training to keep on improving and I definitely lack consistency. I wish I had some supportive guys around to help me go to where I want to go. I definitely Believe that I can be a lot faster than this. Thank you for your tips.
@orca1946 : you know I believe swimming 24.5- 25.5 is not very difficult but after that things get a lot complicated. One has to work consistently under a coach to keep on improving. Thank you for the response.
@taruky : I think you are right. The stroke in the video and the stroke that I use in sprints are completely different. Thank you for your appriciation but I am yet to find a coach that is suitable for me and about the pool......... I don't know if anybody else here swim in this because it was a hotel pool.
Rtodd : Thank you for your nice words and tips. I tried to get on a team but that didn't work out well.
