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.

If you look closely you wiil see the elbow tends to lead the fore arm and hand. The hands and fore arms are slipping through the water and not holding onto the (imaginary wall) water.
OK, I see that. Its causing the same splash by his face that I get. When swimming fast(-ish), I know I drop my elbow because I get a face full of water and no air. This is the first time I've been able to see what I'm doing.
Now what's with the imaginary wall?
