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.

When your hands enter the water on butterfly it looks like they are sliding out to the sides before catching the water. It appears that you are doing an exaggerated "keyhole" shape when you pull. Start your pull where your hands enter, with your arms at shoulder width, never letting them get farther apart than that. Good luck!
