I have seen myself a lot. I attend stroke clinics that include filming whenever I get the chance and have my stroke critiqued by a the coach doing the clinic. Also, since my wife is a coach, I bought her an UW camera a few years ago to use on her age group team. I also use it regularly and have her critique my swims. It makes a big difference to be able to see the deficiencies in the stroke as opposed to having a coach try to explain the problem.
I have never filmed a race though. Would like to do that and see how different it looks at full speed.
