I got a video of myself swimming today! woohoo!
I'd appreciate some comments. it was taken after a set so it wasn't the greatest lap but hey.. i'm not making excuses. i'd like some input. I've been swimming for 4 weeks now :woot:

Oh, i'd recommend scaling down the vid's resolution to see it a bit clearer.

I won't "bring it on", I will congratulate you for swimming for only four weeks and having a video made and sharing it for people here to take a look and critique it. Way to go.
One thing I noticed, I think I noticed, was when you turn your head to breathe, your legs split apart and do a scissors kick. Try not to do this. Even though you turn to breathe, your legs should stay in the same position as when you don't breathe, more together.
Also, it may have just been the video and was hard to see, but I thought I saw your left arm almost enter elbow first instead of the hand. But, like I said, it may have been the video.
Good job, keep on swimming!!
