you're probably spending too much time on technique
I'd work on speed, SDK and conditioning
I'm going to do something that my wife hates -- agreeing while seeming to disagree.
I think that it's important to focus some time on technique... say, maybe on your warmup/recovery sets or set aside one day per week for it. That being said, you don't really figure out whether your technique is improving without doing fast/hard swims.
IMO, the best time to find out how effective your technique is is during the back half of a tough set or swim, when your muscles are burning and you just want to finish. Awareness becomes pretty acute in those moments, and if you focus that hyper-awareness on the technique you've been working on instead of on your pain, it pays nicely.
