So I finally got some video of myself and my son up. This is the first time I'm seeing myself swim, and I'm horrified, lol.
My self-critique: Elbows not high enough, not extending arms very well, arms crossing midline a little on extension, and extending hand almost pushing water a little. Please feel free to add anything, and I'd appreciate advice on drills to address my specific weaknesses (and my son's).

My son's critique: Elbows drop some, he tends to pull a little too much to the outside rather than down the middle, and his left arm tends to go left on extension. Believe it or not he's much faster than the last time I posted video, he's gotten his 25m time down to 26 sec from 45 when the season started. Please add anything.

The thumbnails are actually generated by the message boards whenever you attach an image to a post.
I generally download the videos from youtube as a .mp4 file and open it in quicktime which makes it easy to view the video frame by frame. You can export frames from quicktime but I usually just do a window capture - in Windows just press Alt + Print Screen and then paste the image from the clipboard into an image viewer, IrfanView is free and good for simple editing.
I'll start playing around with it. Thanks!
