Please critique my swimming. Any and all comments are welcome, on any aspect of the strokes. In these clips, I am swimming at about 80% effort. If you can suggest any drills or other ways to fix my strokes, please let me know.

Re; breaststroke.1) Your timing is relatively good. 2)Most people tend to pull too far back,you are the opposite. Try pulling back a little further before you begin your insweep. 3)You are kicking out,making two distinct motions which slows you down. The kick starts with the feet outside the legs so there should be a sweeping motion,but the feeling should be of kicking back and it should be one motion. And4),what has been harder for me to correct personally, you are lifting your head when you breathe. Your head should remain in the neutral psition. Raise your whole chest as you breathe as a natural part of the undulation caused by bending your knees in the kick recovery. This motion causes your lower body to go down in the water so your upper body naturally rises. Also pulling back further will give you a stronger insweep which will help your upper body rise.
