Any advice for the problem of taking a really long time to feel smooth, efficient and easy in the water? I swim 2 miles freestyle 3x/week. It always takes about an hour, but I've noticed that it's fully about 1/2 way or more into it before I notice it's easy gliding and I'm not thinking about it anymore. The speed or the technique isn't different it just seems like a long time before things click.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Wow, the locomotion fast/slow laps made a big difference (ha! mostly just got TIRED a lot faster) but I did notice I felt warmed up much sooner.
Looking forward to trying the other drills next...
And thanks for the encouragement about joining a team...it's a relief not to think about having to learn butterfly at this stage of the game. As you say, Guvnah, maybe someday.
