Welcome any feedback on my freestyle technique. The turn wasn't done very fast, I know I need to flip faster.

The video is not the best quality, I'll try uploading a better version.
Thanks Julie and Knelson.
Julia - the video was taken after a 5000 yard workout and in the midst of heavy training so it would fit into the fatigued category. It was probably done at about 75% effort. The splashing is definitely something I've heard in the past from several people. I'm trying to work on it. As for bilateral breathing I typically breath to both sides during warm up and easier free sets but if the set is supposed to be fast I generally breath to the right.
Knelson - I'll try experimenting with when I start the kick off the turn, I imagine the ideal point would change depending on the length of the race. Head too high is also something I've heard many times before, it's actually improved quite a bit over the past two years but as you pointed out there's still work to be done.
