I just swam a 100m free, 50m free, and 50m fly at a short course this past weekend. My wife stuck around to video me in both freestyle events. They're on youtube now. Not sure if they're clear enough but I'd appreciate any critiquing or suggestions for improvement. I'm in lane 4 on both with the yellow cap.
The 100 was split 29.46/30.40 for a 59.86
Don't know the 50 split but might try and do that next time. Thanks folks.

The Good - the Bad - and the Ugly
The Bad = Start and Finish, got work on that start -- if your feet and hands enter at the same time, you are in trouble. And the glide in the finish is ok for a 1500, but not a 50.
The Ugly = going out in 29+, when you can swim under 26 is just plain UGLY.
I agree with both comments (bad & ugly). I've got to find a place to practice starts, the only practice I get is at meets since the pool I swim at has no blocks and diving is prohibited. Will work on the finish as well.
On the 100, I wasn't sure about pacing and it's been almost a year since I've competed so I didn't want to die on the last fifty. Will work on pacing more. Thanks!
