Hi all. I've been working through the TI drills from the book. I've posted a couple of videos on Youtube:
TI Triple Overswitch Drill Practice - YouTube
TI Drillstroke Practice - YouTube
Particularly on the second video I'm really throwing my right arm. I don't notice it when I'm doing it though. Anyone care to have a look at my videos and tell me how I'm doing and what I need to work on? Thanks,

I agree. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
You know how I call these? Emotional flaws. Swimming is a sport, but also a way of expressing ourselves. The OP is passionate about what he does, seems to be very happy with the progress made with TI drilling, he may be little too enthusiastic.
So do swim like robots, others, well you can almost read their state of mind through their stroke.

I do the same crazy out of control kicking in freestyle, meaning to work on it for about a year. I was inspired by this comment to start this morning. After a few hundred yards working on it, I figured out the proper rhythm, and it makes a huge difference. Wonderful, I'm glad it could help.
Here, why don't you have yourself a good laugh to my expense.
This clip was recorded, in part, to explain the 6-beat kick timming. Maybe you won't learn anything, but at least it should put a little smile on your face.

finally, the 0-arm-to-full progression briefly referred to in this clip goes as follow. It's aimed at improving 6-beat-kick freestyle (perfectly suitable for sprinting):
