Sidestroke is definitely different from the crawl -- and I find it easier to coordinate. And I get to keep my face out of the water.
I learned two different versions of the breast stroke -- one with the long sweeping stroke you describe, and other with shorter strokes. In any case, it still works even if you don't coordinate it smoothly. The kicks are different, too -- one the frog kick, the other somewhat different.
