I like freestyle catch-up drill for working on my EVF zen, and while doing the drill I attain enlightenment. Catch, and that hand drops, the elbow stays up, and ... whoosh! ... strong pull, and I feel myself accelerate (or at least it feels like the water moves past my body faster).
However, that sensation disappears as I get further and further from the catch-up drill (almost catch-up, front quadrant stroke, no pause before catch). How do I stay in the EVF zone as I move from drill to normal stroke? Or should I just always swim (almost?) catch-up???
Sorry, no video...

Grind it Invery good suggestion Ande, the best way to go IMO.
Myself I draw a link between swim and learning a musical instrument (that's because I am a musician myself). Bottom line is that like golfer, or musicians learning the Violin or the Piano or Guitar (whatever), a swimmer that is learning a new ability should practice it at very slow speed first, then increasing the speed gradually.
