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!

Yeah my coach is great and really helpful! It helps me to get a second opinion too though and see if there's something I can do to tighten up my form so that my next lesson can bring me to the next level. I just can't afford to pay for more than the 2 lessons I have left so I want to make sure I get as much as humanly possible from them. I appreciate the thought though because it could be overwhelming if everyone is telling me different things, everyone is really on the same page though with what I need to fix so that's what I'll focus on.
On a sidebar, I think part of my exhaustion problem is that I appear to be breathing too late. That causes me to stall my recovery which stops momentum and leaves me without enough oxygen. Does it look that way to anyone else?
