Looking for feedback on my stroke from a recent meet. The overall time was 54.33 with splits of 26.12 and 28.21 which is about a second slower than I went at meets last year.
The video quality isn't that good but I'm the swimmer in the center of the screen just below the open lane.

I think your stoke looks pretty darned good! I would focus on your turns...
1. go deeper on the push off, and dolphin kick like you mean it. In practice, note how far past the flags your push off gets to
2. work on streamline off the turn. Your arms are extended, but could you squeeze a few more centimetres out of your stretch? Maybe you could work on your breakout: you are pretty flat on your first stroke after the turn.
3. there is a lag before you duck into the turn. Think "fast in, fast out" as you approach the wall. Engage your core to get your legs around faster; tuck in tighter (your legs are pretty extended in the turn).
