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.

Better. I agree with everyone comments.
Work on a higher elbow recovery and more of a hip driven body roll. You are still pretty flat in the water. You need more early vertical forearm and catch the water better, your pull looks too deep. On entry try to reach and hold that extension momentarily before beginning the catch. When you push off the wall hold a tighter streamline with your arms. This is part of pool swimming and can't be ignored. Make 30% of your practice time kicking. Learn bilateral breathing, I don't but wish I could.
Learn and do the other strokes, at least back and ***. They all help you build an acute feel for the water which makes you more efficient.
You are getting better!
