Time key frames:
0:46 – 1:31: Your arms should enter in line with your shoulders, keeping them very close to your head, right know you have them going in too wide. You improved a lot the last day,
1:12 – Your hips are a bit bend, try to stretch them more, bring them as close to the surface as possible.
You need to grab and pull the water strong every time, the more strokes doesn’t mean you will go faster on the contrary, you will go slower and get more tired.
1:51 – You are moving your knees up and down too much (specially the right one), yes is ok to bend the knee to kick but you do not have to move it up and down too much. The kick should come from your core, not only the knees.
2:08 – Good rotation 🙂
