I got filmed today for my breaststroke, which I posted in another thread, but I figure since I have the footage, might as well get a critique of my fly and free, too. I've been back into swimming for several months now, but I know I have a long way to go. I appreciate any feedback. Be harsh if you need to.

Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. My biggest problem is flexibility. Believe it or not, I feel pretty relaxed during most of those swims. Just like I feel like I'm reaching about a foot further than I really am on each stroke of freestyle.
I've been working on muscle endurance and flexibility since last April. The plan was to lose weight and get stretchy so I could swim. The weight has come off, but the flexibility is coming along slowly.
Actually, it seems to have gotten worse since I started swimming harder. My muscles want to thicken up in response to resistance, almost regardless of the exercise. Tough to beat genetics.
I have come a long way in this department and will continue to work at it. Suggestions on how to improve flexibility welcome.
My kick comes and goes. When it's there, my arms can hardly keep up. When it's not, I can't pick up the kick no matter how hard I try. Oddly, it often shows up when I am most fatigued.
