You might get hurt doing the swing like that. You're doing a version of the snatch with a full down swing. I would suggest bringing the DB up to about shoulder or eye level is fine. On the down swing, you want to bring it past your thighs like this:
Make sure to use the momentum you generate to keep it going. Be easier that way.
