I'm 38 years old and started swimming for fitness about 3 months ago. I learned basic breaststroke in my late 20s but haven't practiced much back then.
Here is a video of my breaststroke swim.

If I sprint, it takes me about 33 seconds for 25m and 2:27 for 100m. I can maintain 2:40 per 100m when I swim long distances like 1000m, without getting tired.
I have two modest goals - Swim 25m in 25 seconds and 100m in 2min. How do I quickly reach these goals? Is my problem my poor technique or lack of strength (I'm skinny)?
Thanks in advance.

This is the video with slightly better pull. I'm consistently not bringing my hands behind my shoulder. But it seems my elbows aren't always high.
I'm still angled and swimming 1 feet below the surface! But I'm excited about the progress! (3 seconds improvement in 25m).
Looking forward to trying some of these drills.
Sojerz, thanks to Amazon, it seems like all these tools are available here as well.
