Forgot to ask about Breathing (m)

Ok so I don't mean to be a PITA. But I forgot to ask about breathing! I'm starting to find a 'rhythm' with freestyle- backstroke let's not even go there- I get so distracted by the water splashing into my nose that I lose concentration quickly. But with freestyle- is it normal to feel as though you need to be out of the water longer to catch a breath as you get tired? I am noticing I get very haphazard in and out of the water (when I go take a breath and blow massive bubbles in the water) with my breathing when exhaustion sets in and I am just wondering if this is something experience will take care of in the long run.Thanks again! You guys rock :)

    It's also important to relax into the stroke... This will also help you with your breathing. Yes, as you work harder, you'll find yourself breathing harder. It'll take time to build up your cardio. Having said that, do you kick really hard when you swim? That'll make you run out of breath quickly... What's a PITA?:confused:
