"Long Distances" means many things to different people. If you are talking something in the range of swim tests with equipment then it is something of a cross between a breast stroke and the side stroke. Pulling/pushing down with the front arm, followed by a sideways frogish kick with the legs. The "off" arm is holding the weapon or doing a small push stroke between the other two.
If you are doing the swim test in a regular pool and are tall you'll need to be able to dog paddle in the shallow end. TACs love to spot that bottom toe "helping" with a little push now and then off the bottom of the pool.
Again "Practice, Pratice and then more Practice".
