Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today.
My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet

I'm not worried about the 50, I'll hold back on the first, maybe breath about 4 times, then swim for my life on the second split. Steve, holding back during a 50m is strictly forbidden. No matter how hard you go from start to finish, you may probably have the impression that you could have gone even harder. At least, this is the feeling I get especially with the kicking. You can never kick hard enough in a 50. Unfortunately, energy and focus spent on the pull makes it difficult to deliver full blown kick in the same time. My best effort over 50 kick brings me to the other end under 40sec. But if you'd isolate the kicking done during a 50, not sure I even go under 55.
A 50 is done all out, and it is not very technical too. Just try to save some distance per stroke but even there.
Breathe once or twice during the first 25 (which favors both the dps and the rate), and no more than once during the second one.
+1 on negative split for your 200.
