But, I would think you might want to consider finding your rhythm with a less than all out kick. See if a 2 beat kick or a 4-beat cross might work for you.

See if you can make a difference in energy expenditure by slicing your hand into the water with the least amount of resistance. I can't describe here, really, but play around with slicing in and forward, rather than trying to reach ALL the way out above the water before splashing in.

Pull through to the side of your hip in longer strokes. As with riding, breathing rhythm and using your diaphragm can make a big difference.
