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.

You might want to consider switching to the track start. Using the track start gets you in the water pretty quickly and in a pretty straight line. The problem is you are jumping up and out and basically landing like you would if you jumped off the dresser onto your bed. You should try to enter the water sooner. You can keep using the grip start (it's what I use for breaststroke), but keep your legs straighter on the blocks.
