Here is an old one of me swimming. It was taken just after a knee replacement and I was not able to push off the the wall. That pool is 75 feet wide at that point and it took 16 seconds to cross the pool. www.youtube.com/watch
I have posted this before. I am open to critique. I do not like the broken wrist recovery with the left hand.
Chuckie and I will be in Mexico in 3 weeks. Chuckie and I love Mexico.
At the end of practice last night we did 25m walk backs from the blocks and the coach took video. I clipped out my swims. The first fly swim isn't very good because we didn't do any fly in the workout and my goggles filled up which threw me off, I think the second one is a bit better. By the third fly I was getting a little tired.
The "dives" (really falls) are still pathetic and no underwater sdk to speak of but I think my stroke has improved. In particular the recovery doesn't look as forced as in the last video.

the quality comes out awful on youtube, the new youtube player doesn't seem to have the "show at actual resolution" feature anymore. I clipped out a couple of the swims and encoded them with QuickTime for better quality:

Hard to tell exactly without seeing what it looks like underwater, but it looks to me like you're getting slightly vertical and pushing more water than you want to be. I think a big part of it is your knees. Try to keep those knees from dropping and bending on your kick.
Your recovery looks smoother than the first video. That's good.
