I hope this works. I posted a video clip to YouTube. It's funny, but once I knew I was being recorded, some of my technique went out the window.
Is there a difference in technique from a sprint standpoint and swimming distance? I push my hands forward and "vacation" a little bit, but is this a technique for surviving distance?

I'll look into my kick and ask coach to watch. I have to say that it feels that my first kick is stronger (prior to my pull) and my second kick is very week (kicking the hands in.) The rooster tail of water is coming from my 1st kick, actually. My weakness in swimming are my legs and I think I need to get some fins and start working the dolphin kick. I will keep a mindful eye to this.
You're getting first/second reversed. First normally is kicking the hands in, and the 2nd is hands out.
