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

Got hips up several inches by pushing down forward of center buoyancy. From this angle I notice there’s an excessive loss of glide after each propulsion (like brakes).
When I look at this angle:

I can see why.
I think I do swim differently when filmed, and my neck and upper back has been stiff lately which both may be factors. But this has got to stop - lol!
Hmm, interesting. How can aerobic be improved in weeks?
Not certain about a few weeks but Mr. Thornton once discussed a workout targeting 200 duration's, which as far as I'm concerned is aerobic:
5 sets of 8x50 on 1:00
Set#1 - o=ez, e=200pace+2sec
Set#2 - o=ez, e=200pace+1sec
Set#3 - o=ez, e=200pace
Set#4 - o=ez, e=200pace -1sec
Set#5 - o=ez, e=200pace -2sec
