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.

Your breaststroke looks like it's all kick to me. It doesn't look like your pull is helping you out. Try to narrow your pull in. Try to keep your hands in the direction of travel/don't scoop down.
I just wanted to add to FQ's point... I noticed your head bobbing a bit when you came up for air. While you work on that pull, keep your head still - when your head goes back under water, keep your head in the same position, go into a nice streamline... work that glide on every stroke.
33's a nice time. :applaud:
Watch those dolphin kicks. ;)
