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.

When I stroke count I can get it down to about 10 or 11 strokes for the 25mtrs. I do only 2 little dolphin kicks and an easy push off the wall. If I were to take advantage of 15 m underwater rule I guess it would take very few strkes. Don't cheat when stroke counting.
Put a kick board between your legs or a pull bouy. It will get your legs into proper postion.
