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.

Thank you WhyNot, yeah i know i dont push off the wall very well, but now it is not my priority concern, however i do concern about doing the flip turn right, is it correct? a guy told me that i dont do it properly and i could hurt my back. I do not get to understand it. What´s wrong with my flip turn? As for the core, how is it going to help me swim better? I thought the core has not much to do with swimming technique, as you can see i am not an expert.
Thank you Steve, good advice that of the dot on my head, but i cannot figure out a way to prevent my body from sinking everytime i have to breathe. Although it might be that i am not sinking when breathing but i go everytime sunk and it is more noticeable when breathing because you can see the neck extension to the top of the water surface.
I have read somewhere that we have to narrow our shoulders along the whole cycle (both over and underwater stroke) and i have seen that i dont do it either, how to do it? i´ve looked for youtube videos but found nothing.
