I am very much not a swimmer, but I am starting to love it. My goal is to compete in triathlons and being a runner this swimming thing is a lot harder to pick up than I thought it would be. After I do a 100 I'm so out of breath and exhausted that I think I must have some serious form issues. I'm working with a coach but only have 5 lessons and I've done 3 so far just to get me to this point (believe it or not this is actually much better than I started). I'm hoping to spread out my last two so that I can make some more progress and he can just refine my stroke. I'm definitely not very strong in my upper body so I'm sure there's a fitness aspect to it but for as tired as I am there has to be more to it than just that. Thanks in advance!

A good drill for you to try is the 6 kick/switch drill. Here's a video: www.youtube.com/watch
If your body position is poor this will be a very difficult drill. The better your body position, the easier this drill will be. Also, try to keep the arm extended out front in a good, high-elbow catch position while executing the drill.
