    Looks pretty good to me. You looked for the wall twice on backstroke. Get in the habit of counting strokes from the flags, then you'll only have to look once, or zero times if you feel lucky (I never do). On your breaststroke push-off you did a dolphin kick with your pull which is good. I recently started doing this and it helps a lot. I think you can easily drop .5 seconds with that alone. But your feet broke the surface. Try pushing off deeper so you're completely submerged at that point. Practice breaststroke push-offs with and without the dolphin kick and you'll get a feel for how much it helps and how to maximize it. Watch this, it's from a start not push but it shows how the dolphin kick+pull works. www.youtube.com/watch
