Have you tried the drill where you put a kickboard between your thighs so it sticks out like a shark fin? then as you pull back w/ every arm stroke you touch the board.
Helps w/ body roll and back hand pull.

Just don't put lotion on before swimming - it causes the kickboard to constantly pop out

Also a good one for body roll is the "Popov drill"
perfect streamline body position w/ roll for 3 arm strokes no breathing then as you "snap" on the stroke roll to side and kick 6 counts "snap" back 3 arm strokes "snap" to other side, kick 6 counts

What happened when I was rolling too much is I was fishtailing. when I corrected I had to think and so went slower but now am better and back to speed
