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, nice job! I can see a lot of progress. Your stroke looks very smooth now. I agree with the other comments and I'd also add that you could get a lot more out of your kick. right now it doesn't look like you're getting much propulsion from your kick it's mainly just counterbalancing your pull. Try to work on incorporating a strong six-beat. Even a four beat kick, but I'd like to see some boiling water back there! Also push off the wall hard and streamline. You should at least get to the flags before you surface and start stroking. That alone will cut a couple strokes off per 25.
