Hi!
i'm new here and this being my first post, i'm not sure on how to go about it; so i shall start from the beginning.
From May last year, i've began my quest to lower my freestyle 50m timing and have since worked on trying to attain a more stream line position of my body.
currently i can only barely reach 30secs and would really hope to lower it down to 23-24.. i really hope it is possible.
Please look at the videos in my youtube channel to give me pointers.

Plz do help me =) ty in advance

23 in a 50m free is a HUGE goal.
I'd have loved to see a demo start in the videos. So many people dismiss their start and start sequence as "good enough" when they could be leaving a whole second on the table. Its all "free" time if you take it right off the start/underwater. Also it looks like you might not be using an SDK. I don't know that you'll get down to 23-24 without that. Last, what jazz said... you're not getting the full distance per stroke while sprinting. The only way to sprint faster is to maximize distance while increasing stroke rate assuming all other factors remain constant. Sounds simple, but very hard. Also, you need to work on kicking.
Given the magnitude of the goal you've set out, you should make intermediate goals and work towards those first. You should check ande's tips too, there are a ton of good ones in there to point you in the right direction.
