I went to an underwater video clinic on 8/5/07. Filming credit goes to Emerald City Multisport which put on the clinic at Samena Pool in Bellevue, WA. They did me a favor and recorded both free and fly instead of just free.
I've uploaded some excerpts to google video, and I'm interested in any critiques. One thing they said is I seem to be creating a lot of bubbles on entry on free.

In both free and fly your legs are pretty much just along for the ride. Look especially at the free side view. You need to get those hips up. If I were you I'd work on trying to do something other than a two-beat kick. I think your pull looks pretty solid.
