I have started to swim recently 3/4 times per week. Basically I swim around 2500m (1h) including different types of legs (freestyle 90%; ***, back and fly:10%). My problem is that it has been more than ten years since last time I swam with a coach and if I ever had a good technique now it is rusty. Besides now I am in China and it is quite difficult to find a suitable coach because of language issues. So maybe you can help me out if I leave footage of myself here, and point out my errors. In a second stage I will try to figure out how to solve them. Thanks!!

As for my best performance in 100m event it is 1'20" and in 1500m it is 30'. And my goal is to make it 1'15" and 25' respectively, so any suggestion to make it possible is very welcome.
The first two things I notice are: 1) You're lifting your head when you breathe and 2) You're crossing your mid-line with your left arm. Your right arm is crossing over just slightly.
There are tons of good videos on YouTube on both of these issues. Here's an excellent one on head position by Bob Bowman.
