I thought I would post my video for some advice... Thanks
If you min. your screen the video looks better, very grannie full screen.
It's was just an easy swim, nothing fancy.
Intresting thought, I've never seen my self swim before.
Looks like I need to stretch out my arms farther, looks like I'm cutting the pull off to short.- yes???
Counting 18 strokes per 25yds. Can't tell the kick count.

I have a theory, and I wonder if some of the coaches on this board agree with me. I think you're shortening up your stroke coming into the walls because you don't quite have good timing down on when you should be starting your turn at the pace you are going. It seems like at the other end you actually pause, lift your head to view the wall, and then turn. I think we all do this to some extent and maybe it's just the easy pace exaggerating it. Perhaps someone else can suggest some drills other than stroke counts to help with this wall-phobia.
I think on looking at the video again I retract this part. I don't think it's a turn issue. Again, maybe someone more experienced will have a better take on it. But I do think you are shortening up your stroke, although inconsistently.
