I've been working on my stroke quite a bit, trying to correct a couple of the things you point out, I can at least do 100 yds in under 2 mins now, looking to get that down to 1min 30s if I can.

Does not look fast but pay attention to the leg stroke. I go above and beyond my way of duty to max speed and stability by using legs. If you watch the time, I don't take a lot for 1 lap (25m) and that was a water start / video type swim, not all out. You may get a lot faster by returning your head to the midline a lot faster than waiting for your recovering arm. Also keep your head flat and only breathe with 1 goggle out of the water to not lose main axis forward orientation. Right now you turn your whole face out to breathe and you then make a real swerve particularly to your left (at 0:09 and at 0:20). I'd say, triple your leg work, play your arms from the hips, keep your head in line and that'll save you a lot of energy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDdq_l7MO1o – Here is my crawl 1 lane video.
