I will definitely get some better footage my next swim! :)
You might want to have somebody shoot you at this angle:

My husband shot this of me swimming EZ free and it shows the path of my arms through the water. He also shot a straight-on view of my "sprint" (such as it is; it was the end of my workout, 6th day in a row...):

Shooting from above will cut out a lot of the glare to show what's happening underwater. And, zooming in tight will show detail. Just don't have your videographer zoom in too tight, like in the EZ swim video where my feet got cut off! :D
