HAPPY NEW YEAR, FORUMITES! :party2: :chug:
One of my goals for the new year (as it is for every year) is to improve all four of my strokes. I have posted videos on The Breaststroke Lane, The Backstroke Lane, and The Butterfly Lane, in hopes of receiving some feedback on those strokes. Please feel free to check those out and offer any constructive criticism you may have.
Here are three freestyle videos of my current stroke. I have been working to eliminate flaws that were previously pointed out: Head bounce on the non-breathing stroke, a lazy right hand exit at the end of the stroke, and splashy hands on entry. Whether I succeeded or not is open for discussion. And, in the process, I hope I didn't pick up any other bad habits! :afraid:

Thanks!

Your stroke looks pretty good. A couple things I noticed: you could be tighter in your streamline. Make sure your arms are pressed right up against your ears. Second, you aren't keeping a high enough elbow. Your arm is very straight during your pull. You'll get more from your stroke if you employ an EVF style stroke.
For comparison watch your stroke vs. Michael Phelps' here

Keep up the good work!
