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 the fly ...
lot's of wasted motion up and down. Try not to let you feet come out of the water on your kick. This should help out a bit. Don't over catch - the recovery should be really relaxed and you should feel like you are laying your arms into the water - DO NOT force it. Try to drag your chin along the surface of the water when you breathe.
Good drill:
one fly stroke with forehead out (instead of breathing)
one fly stroke with eyes out (instead of breathing)
one fly stroke with chin out (instead of breathing)
