You want your arms to alternate during the pull; when one arm is up getting ready to pull, the other one should be finishing the pull. Notice how this is not reflected on your stroke, you wait until one of your arms finishes the pull completely before even bringing the other one up to begin the pull. Again, alternate is the key word here.

The flags are there to help you know how far out you are from the wall. Once you see the flags count how many strokes it takes you to get to the wall and memorize this number, so you don’t have to be looking out for the wall every time.

Use your shoulder rotation on your favor, when your hand goes in rotate and pull, it will be easier for your shoulders.

Finish your pull all the way down and bring it out, do not do more movements.

When the hands enter the water let them go a bit deeper then start the pull, it will help grab more water and have a cleaner pull without many bubbles.

You don’t need to kick that, make your kick smaller, and do not move your knees up and down, if your knee is coming out of the water then you should try to keep it lower.

Notice how you are more fluent with your stroke and your body is more controlled in the water. Your kick is a bit smaller and more frequent by the last day which interferes less with the rhythm of your stroke.

When your arm goes in the water, try to glide more with your arms and do not drop your arm, when your hand enters the surface, rotate and glide it as much as you can to the front, right now you are gliding diagonal down and front (specially your right hand)

Don’t forget you need to finish your pull all the way back

Try to not crossover the line from the middle of your body/head when breaking the surface with your arms, and make sure you stretch your elbows all the way, do not leave them bend.

You are pulling a too wide, when your arm goes in and you finish your glide, bend your elbow so you can pull more under your body and not on the sides.

Your body position seems to have improved which gives you more control in the water. I would concentrate more the on gliding to the front and not down, specially with your right hand.
