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.

I'm definately not at a level for advice, but:
Lift your elbows (evf). Your upper arms are actually hitting water face-on at mid-stroke, slowing you down.
Your torso seems to curve in a "C" shape as your right hand begins to catch. Somethings causing your right hip to drop down.
Kick too wide. You can barely see thorpe's feet when viewed head-on. Do an all-out 25 kick to learn the legs how to kick fast.
Keep the bum up and experiment with chin closer to chest to keep streamlined
Something I admire is the catch though, no dead spots or pauses. You also use more of a kayak approach. Sprinter?
How many mexapixels is that camera?
