Some issues with alignment especially when breathing with a large aperture opening between head and arm and the right hip dropping a little. We can also see the legs separating int he kick to help balance the body which suggests the core and lateral chain is not providing enough stability. Left arm is pulling out short and wide which is compromising transfer of power and length of stroke. Elbow is starting retraction a little early in the catch / pull phase compromising generation of power. Stroke changeover is good and will benefit a distance stroke / ocean swimming with a relatively long glide phase.
Work on developing right lateral chain engagement, keeping head low / hips high on breath cycle, left arm all the way to back of stroke.
SUGGESTED DRILLS
Lateral kick, 8-3-8, single goggle on breath, thigh scratch
