For any/all strokes, how do you maintain timing and form while swimming much less than 100%? It has been mentioned (sorry I forgot who said it) that a lot of swimmers have only one speed. Well it's true for me. *** doesn't work unless I pull hard enough to get out of the water for breathing. I can coast/glide for a few seconds but that's it. Free, do you pull slowly or do you coast somewhere in the cycle?

I'm a flyer, but I would say that's the hardest to swim slow or should I say, with minimal effort. If you go too slow, you end up having to work harder. However, if you practice enough fly, you may develop a good cruising speed.
With ***, it's all about having a strong kick to propel a nice long glide. But even going easy, you wouldn't hold a glide more than a couple seconds.
As you can see with George's vid, you want his type of rotation on the side of the body while keeping the head in line when doing free (only move your head when you breathe).
