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.

Head down a little more can help with this as well.
Your head position and kick in freestyle don't match.
Your head is high and lots of it sticks out of the water. If you want to stay that way in terms of your head, you'll need to kick more to stay horizontal instead of dragging yourlegs.
If you don't want to kick any more strongly, then you'll need to keep your head low in the water both when you swim and when you breathe.
