I have always been a good breaststroker. I can swim breaststroke for 1-2 miles without stopping with no problem. But I can't swim freestyle for a long distance. I have to stop and take a 30 second break for every 100 yards. Does anyone know what my problem is? Perhaps I don't have the correct technique? I have noticed when I am swimming freestyle, I don't feel as relax as when I am swimming breaststroke. Perhaps just lack of practice? Please help.
By the way, have anyone tried TI swimming? Is it worth it to take the TI workshop? Thank you all for your help.

Thank you all for your valuable inputs.
I only breath on the right; I breath every other stroke. I think you guys have pointed out one of my problems, which is I don't breath out under water prior to take the next breath; yeah, this could be one of the reasons why I feel tired when I swim freestyle. But the strange thing is when I swim breaststroke, breath or w/o breath under water do not make any different for me???
Should I buy TI training DVD and try it first or should I just sign up for the lessons? I heard people told me that when you learn TI techniques, you have to un-learn everything that you have learned; is that true? This might be tough for me, since I have been swimming for 25 years.
Again, thank you all for your inputs.
