I have checked this site for quite a while, it is a great resource for swimmers. The link is: http://www.swim.ee/index.html
They have recently added a lot of new video clips. These have recently been organised to show technique / coaching tips.
There are videos showing all 4 strokes and aspects of each: "high elbow", "kayak timing", "catch-up timing", entry, catch, pull etc and turns, starts & finishes.
The swimmers profiled are all world class such as Thorpe, Hackett, Lezak, Hoogie, Popov and more.
I have just watched a video clip showing Mark Foster, UK, swimming freestyle which is exquisite in it's detail. This is filmed in slow motion and shows a wealth of points of good technique.
So if you have a fast connection and lots of spare time you can learn a lot !

Those videos are a big aid.
I think the next big thing will be for masters teams to post videos of their swimmers on their team web sites so team members can download them and evaluate what they need to work on. This would be helpfull because you can look at yourself, and then compare yourself with the best in the world.
