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

Better dive. looks nice and controlled, but you still need to pick up the tempo and engage your kick. Don't be afraid to get after it. Try doing a 200 where you die in the last 50. This will give you pacing experience. You should wish you never took up swimming in the last 50. Is this how you felt?
Don't forget to sqeeze your head with your arms in the streamline and don't let your legs and feet seperate as much. There needs to be better connectivity with your upper and lower body through your core. This is why your feet are seperating.
