Hello, Here is a short clip of me swimming. It was shot using a Pentax Optio M10 camera. The 10M mov file was then uploaded to Youtube. The quality doesn't seem to be very good.
So, any advice on whatever you can tell about the swim and/or advice on how to upload/shoot better videos is much appreciated and thanked in advance.

First of all, good idea doing a chronology through changing your stroke around.
You've improved your stroke count from around 20 to around 18- that's a great improvement, but you should get that down a bit more.
I think you can do that by shedding the bubbles- it looks to me like you've got a cloud of bubbles around your hand under water. I could be wrong about what I see in the video, but bubbles cause your hands to push foam rather than water- you'll get more purchase/resistance in pure water. You can get rid of the bubbles by starting your pull a bit later- glide a bit until the bubbles are shed and then retireve.
It may not be the bubbles, but it just seems like you need to "dig in" a little more to reduce your stroke count. It will fatigue you a bit more but you should adapt and reduce your strokes per length. This should make you more efficient and powerful. Good luck!
