Always try to lengthen your stroke. This will make your swimming more efficient and therefore faster, you will be able to swim longer distances (or any combination of the two) or you will be better able to just swim your normal distance without being exhausted.
A simple technique (or combination of techniques) is as follows:
Reach out as far as you can and directly in front of your shoulders so that you achieve a straight arm reach. The final part of your reach should be just under the surface
Push back as far as you can so that you achieve a straight arm push back remembering, of course, that your arm recovery and most of your pull/push is more efficiently done with bent elbows
Roll your body to achieve a more effective and therefore longer reach and push back.
