Beginner video critique

I learned how to swim freestyle two summers ago and I love it! I'd appreciate any swimming tips and feedback. I'd like to improve my form with the aim of swimming faster triathlon distances (1.5 - 4 km). The video below is grainy and watermarked but I'm hoping there's enough there to give a general gist of my current stroke. http://youtu.be/H4_a263ytBw Thanks!

    You are right gbrain -The advice should be adjust the kick so as not to be overkicking. Become more streamlined keep elbows high and rotate those shoulders. A little more extension when the hand enters. Are you sure this is good advice for someone planning to bike over 100 miles and run over 26 after swimming a couple miles?
