Hello fellow-swimmers!
Could you please check out videos of my breaststroke. So far 50m *** is my best distance. But for the last two years I haven’t been able to break 36+ seconds limit (SC).
That’s a snippet of 50m at race speed:

I have more videos, but so far the forum allows me to add only one.
Mistakes, drills to fix them, stretching exercises?
I’m total amateur, 35 years old, it’s my 6th year of competitive swimming.
Thanks!
Ok, this is what I have so far (twice slowed down):

It's not a race pace but I tried to do it properly and applying most of the power to the water. I was trying to cover my head with my arms (to get in streamline) as soon as I can. To keep neutral head position I tried to look down, right to the water surface. But my knees are still to far apart. After 40sec of the video you’ll see several tries with pullbuoy and kicking on the back.
And I really don’t like this improper position – my core is not aligned the moment I’m about to do a kick:
9404
