when ever we are doing pull sets my lane mates put me up front because when it comes to pulling (bouy and paddles) i'm the fastest... right after that set and we have to do regular swimming i go to the back of the line because i'm the slowest... what gives folks... how can i be so fast in one thing and so slow doing the other... BTW the same happens with kicking with fins...

What pwolf said. Also, ask your coach about that. You can probably do a very good job with head position and other little technique tweaks as long as you're thinking about them. When you stop thinking about things you'll probably have a tendency to revert back to bad habits. Your coach can check your technique at random times.
I'd try a six-beat kick. That will, I think, help keep your legs floating better as well.
