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.

If that's you doing the squats in your avatar, then I'd say they're definitely paying off. Your turns in the 100 were very strong compared to the person swimming next to you. In fact, it looked like she was reeling you in (swimming faster than you) on each 25 and then you would re-gain a big lead on each turn. Perhaps you are turning over a little too slowly. Your dives aren't great but whatever you're doing under water while in streamline is obviously strong.
Perhaps you need to swim against tougher competition as well? Faster competition may bring out better effort... Just a thought...
