50 meters freestyle in SCM pool. I am at the 2nd lane with blue cap. I know that the recording's no good. By the way, the guy at the 3rd lane swimming like a rocket is an ex-olympian Ahmet Nakkaş (1984 LA Olympics).

Maybe your hand entry should be a bit earlier
Good point. Catch the water with hand and forearm, and hurl yourself past the stroking arm with core muscles, elbow high. This is how I think it should be done, not necessarily how I'm doing it.
A tennis serve could serve as an analogy of the ideal freestyle stroke: High elbow paired with body core action supported by the lower extremities, the arm wrestling movement, and a follow-through in the end. Not a perfect analogy, but not that far-fetched?
