Go practice in a swimming pool. A few dozen laps has a way of helping you become more efficient out of sheer exhaustion.
The frog is not that great of a kick. It offers no advantages. I never use it. If you want power, speed, and gas efficiency, then the flutter is a much better kick.
However the modified frog is a really useful kick, and one that I use about 95% of the time. Almost all cave divers use the modified frog because it gives you precise control when maneuvering. The modified frog is also a really relaxed kick for just cruising around the reef.
Drag in water is proportional to the square of the speed, so it's pointless to go fast anyway unless you want to use up all of your gas quickly.
