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 sounds to me that you must be working out in a group and feel the need to keep up. Find a place were you can swim on your own, take the time to concentrate on your arm entry, getting to the catch phase then to finish your stroke. Don't be afraid to roll those shoulders. Good tech does not happen when you are trying to keep up to others.
