Hi all. I've posted videos of my freestyle stroke in my blog entry here.. I would appreciate your comments either in my blog or in this forum. Thanx.
Come and visit my nest.

It appears that you are dropping your elbows upon entry and keeping it that way until you recover. There are drills to help you with this.
Also, your feet are coming too far out of the water and this is probably due to your hips riding too high. Hips tend to ride high when you are burying your head. Try swimming with your head tilted a bit more toward the end of the pool and see if this helps.
You have made alot of improvement since the first two videos. Not to sound too much like Simon on American Idol, but I couldn't even finish watching the first video. I was able to watch more of the second video, but also had to cut it short - too painful to watch.
The third video I watched in its entirety twice.
Keep working on drills. Good work so far!
