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?

Free - only use your legs for propulsion when going fast, and stretch out the stroke.
*** - longer glide, and more gentle kick.
Back - I always swim slowly.
Fly - relax your arms on the recovery, which is easier said than done.
