Re: insweep,I don't have any good videos,but I suggest you look at videos of Rebecca Soni vs Kitajima or Hansen.Both Kitajima and Hansen are getting a lot of power from the insweep and accelerating through the pull right in to the recovery and getting pressure the whole way.Soni doesn't and is getting all her thrust from the outsweep and pulling back.I believe this is a stroke flaw of hers,but I have heard some say they think it is better.Your pull is not as exaggerated as Soni's,but I think more like Kitajima's is preferable.
As to the kick,I didn't get as good a look in your WR as in the other video so you may be right.I am constantly tinkering with my kick as it seems always either too shallow or too deep.Instead of thinking about the kick try thinking about your hip motion and see if that makes a difference.
My situation is about like yours,mostly self coached,but the are a couple of coaches I trust enough to have look at my stroke every chance I get.(I don't know about there,but here there are a lot of coaches who have no real idea what breaststroke should look like.)
