My name's colin, and I swim at pasadena high school in texas. I'm a sophomore just starting swim (after trying to find the right sport) and have been swimming for a little bit less than a semester.
My meet times
50yd free: 0:30.23 (warm pool )
50yd ***: 0:36.49 (warm pool)
100 yd ***: 1:30 (cold pool)
The meet I got the 45sec 50yd the pool wasn't an ideal temperature, and it was on a saturday, after an intense med. ball workout the preceding wednesday.
Both times I was doing ***, I felt like I was going all out. But, ideally, I want my 100yd *** to be 2 times my 50 time...

Colin,
Its all about technique. Work with your coach and do what he says. Technique is key in swimming. Then to become faster you just need to get strong and be in good condition.
I would highly sugest that you get a video called Eddie Resse on breaststroke. He breaks the stroke down and expaines some drills that can help you acheive good technique.

I have this video and it helped me drop almost two seconds off my 50 breaststroke time.
