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!

  • There is nothing wrong with kicking while training then saving your legs as required at actual events, is there? Never seen the swimsmooth mechanical-man before, interesting. They did a good job replicating a swimmer but there's a few things I don't support (if it means anything). First is the broken wrist catch, check out Mr. Popov's wrist over there 'll attach it. You will have to be very flexible to bend like that and it might require more work. gotta go ... My SWIMMER issue just arrived (25's, cool!)
