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

My hands tend to slap the water, you can hear it in the video (lane 1, near the wall). Does it waste energy?
Here is yesterday's lcm 50fr, it was 30. something. Died near the end

That is a perfect example that there actually is pacing in a 50.
Considering you could hear your entry over the sounds of the rest of the race, you could probably stand to work on you hand entry.
A hand entry that doesn't bring bubbles with it should be quiet. The preference of thumb first, pinky first or finger tips first is going to be something you need to figure out with your shoulders, but any should work. Sprinting will generate more bubbles than when you work on perfect entry, but once it is a habit, you splash will blend in with the background noise.
