:help:
:dunno: or :lolup: ?
Since I'm new to swimming i have a problem and need of advice. I've been swimming 5 days a week for about a month now at my local 25 yard gym pool. I've gotten to a point where my technique is somewhat good but i cannot swim more then 50 yards straight without coughing a lung (or at least feeling like it). Yesterday i got some inspiration and did about 400 with a couple of seconds breather every 25 yards. To my surprise it went well, and i actually felt i was improving my technique (endurance breeds efficient swimming?). Anyways, I find it extremely hard to focus on technique wen I'm trying to work on endurance and here lies the problem.
Do i keep working on establishing second-nature proper technique and keep doing 25/50 yards until i feel i'm ready to overcome long distance, or should i start working on endurance regardless of whatever technique faults i think i have at the moment.
I see swimmers doing laps at my pool and i can't help but think about their faulty technique. i don't want to be one of them.

I hav used the head down, lengthening body aspect and rolling to breath and went from barely completeing 2x25y without needing David Hasselhoff; to now going 4x25y in quite good style and maybe just the last few strokes I stuggle with breath and stuff...
It's not that I cant crawl I just want to do it better...and the techniques here and advice are all worth a look and finding what works.
