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.

Thanks for the feed back, keep it coming.
I agree I do have a bad habit of looking up, trying to break it.
And I do sometimes lift my head when aproaching the wall. I think it's because I want to make sure I'm not not close or to far away. Very bad eye sight, I don't wear my contacts swimming because I can't afford to loose them.
This evening I worked on keeping my head down, using more of the lane markers to help me judge wall distance, and only looking forward with my eyes not raising my head when coming into the wall. And trying to remember to keep my arms streched out. I think it's just little tweeks. But those tweeks can also make or break you.
After 6 months of practice I have my first meet next Thursday. I'm excited and scared. My old HS coach is hosting a Alumni meet, it's just for fun, so I figure why not. He's even letting me come in this week to work on starts etc. I think that's so cool, because the 'Y' doesn't let us dive. - Although you can if the right lifegaurd is working : )
I've tried getting my stroke count down, - question - is that possible at 5' 3"
