Your getting some good results mate congrats. Enjoy your wins. :) Since been using a new 5kg neck weight my glides are longer and lengths seem easier getting into 3.5/4 strokes on a big swim 2.5/3 more forced 25m.

The scissor-like movement of my legs is still the hardest part to correct, as this technique 'error' goes back a long time. Never the less, training is there to improve that, I'll try and put the effort in. In this run I forgot to wear my weight around the neck, when I did wear the weight in another run the overall technique improved quite a lot since the weight made it possible to relax more and focus on other technique-improvements rather than swimming down to stay under ;) Indeed the thighs should be closer together, I’ll keep it in mind during the next runs.

A pool bouy is good for this . And try to get your kick more uniform. More weight also. Good effort. I think you could work on your kick a lot keeping your thighs together more.
