Just swam a short course meet this past weekend. I'm providing a couple of links to my 50 fly and 50 ***. If you can make anything out, I'd appreciate any critical feedback on either of them. I think my fly is still a little too "wavy." Don't know what to think about breaststroke as I'm still learning it. I swam the fly in :24.80 and the *** in :33.53 (these are yds). I'm the one in the yellow "smiley face" cap.

I also swam 100yd free, 100yd fly, and 50 free, but don't want to share any of those as I had goggle problems on all three. Thanks in advance.

On your fly, I definitely agree that your wasting energy moving up and down. Your arms also seem to loop up instead of recovering in more of a horizontal fashion. Get rid of the wasted motion and concentrate on driving yourself forward, not on undulating so much and keep your breathing flatter. When you breathe, you're coming up way too high.
On your breastroke, get your hips up. When you finish the stroke, you should also be looking more towards the bottom of the pool. You need more of a wave action to your breastroke in my opinion. Your hips should be up, drving you upper body forward on the recovery. You're generating too much resistance.
