My 50 free from Austin last year. Lane 3, green cap.
I'd of course like to be significantly faster. Any and all comments are welcome, and my little bro over there in Lane 6 might welcome some as well.

I like Pwolf's points.
The left arm is not catching water quick enough. Your arm is full extended and your hand is still laying on the surface...no good. You need to get that hand going in sooner so it can pull water sooner. Watch the right arm of lane 5 in the first 25. To emphasize this point watch lane 5's lack of kick. He's getting it done with turnover, a good catch and balance stemming from not breathing.
Don't take as many breaths. Watch lane 5.
On your start put that trail leg a bit farther back on the block. Watch lane 5.
I prefer not to bend over and have to wait for the "on your mark". This isometric wastes energy. Either put your hands on your thighs or stand up. Don't let someone else dictate the start. The starter may be letting someone fiddle with their goggles while you are bent over helpless and sometimes he wont stand you up. Pay attention to earlier heats to see if he is running a tight ship. Be one of those standing or bracing your upper body against your legs if you feel the starter is too leanient.
On your entry and breakout, ignore lane 5, you did it better.
I think all this adds up to a second and make you even faster.
