This is a video of me swimming 50 free. I broke the league record in this swim at a time of 22.31. splits were 10.4 and 11.9.
Any advise on how to improve. I know the video is a little fuzzy but does anyone have any tips on what I can improve on.

Warren,
That's a nice time and I know you'd like to go sub 22 so here's a few suggestions. Oh, I couldn't download your video but these suggestions should still help.
First, as flexible as your feet are, work at stretching the foot (ankle) so it kicks better. Time your kick sets and work on quality or fast kick times.
Second, Work on your EVF! Type it like this in your search engine, "Early Vertical Forearm + swimmming, and start doing some research, little improvements may mean significant time drops.
Third, work on streamling on the start and turn. Good isn't good enough, get great at streamlining.
Fourth, work at improving your breakout time. Are you under too long, not long enough. Your coach knows, work with them.
Fifth, Get in the weight room and work your soleus (the muscle behind your calf). It's an important an often overlooked muscle that can help get you off the wall faster.
Good luck
