    1. I would push of a little harder from the wall so that the practice of skills will become easier 2. Although you arm technique seems okay, you are not moving water, as Ande stated already. It seems (if I assess your speed) that your hand stays flat or so. Try to grab water by focussing that during almost the entire phase under water, your fingers are pointing towards the bottom of the pool. Try to put more strength in your stroke. The way it looks now, you could swim for hours and not getting tired. 3. Try to breathe every 3 strokes or so and keep your head almost under water. Your butt will rise and you create lss drag 4. Your kicking can improve. You kick every two seconds or so a couple of times. Try to use it more consistent 5. I would concentrate on stroke efficiency. Push of rom the wall and try with a long powerfull stroke to make speed. Not just making a lot of strokes, they should be efficient. Help yourself with a good kick and now count the strokes you make for one lane. (from start to finish) Let another one time you, count seconds and number of strokes and keep this result in mind. After two months of training you do it again and see if you are developing. 6. As i am only used to think in meters, I can not judge if your goals are okay.
