Single or two pole switch? For a single wire the neutral line lead straight to the motor line terminal (which post won't matter) and the hot lead to the switch and then a jumper from the switches other post to the motors other line terminal.
If the switch is two-pole then both the neutral and the hot lead will go to the switch with jumpers from the switch to the motor line terminals.

My friend, my experience with the two speed pump in low speed is less than spectacular. There is so little filter action with the lower speed as to render the process useless. If you are trying to save $, better to run the pump a little longer then turn it off. My experience is in a commercial application. I run three such pumps in that system ... the additional expense of the two speed motors was a waste of capitol. In addition, as a commercial facility, we could not meet the required water turn over rate in our pools. Of course yours is a smaller body of water and you are probably not in a commercial facility. We get a LOT of cleaning (through filtration) at night, after the customers go home.
I suppose you could run your system with a intelematic switch ... I have not seen a 'three way' switch in this line ... having said that ... to my way of thinking ... you would wire directly through the selector switch on the back of the motor to each of two intelematic's; one on the high side and the other on the low side. I would allow at least 30 minutes between the two cycles to prevent impeller damage.
