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 !

Mark, Sorry for the delay in answering your question but i do have good news for you.
I have spoken to Ian Wollard, the masters coach at Barnet Copthall swim club. If you contact him directly then he can arrange a video session for you. They do this in the dive tank and they can do over and underwater video. His email is: ian@barnetcopthall.com The website is : www.barnetcopthall.com
I have entered their 1500m meet for next sunday. I am not sure what the time of my heat is. If you are able to come along, i am sure that you would enjoy the experience.
I am running a video clinic for my swimmers on tuesday night, above water only. A bit far for you to come tho.
