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 Coach T. for those video clips. I watched them and they are very helpful.
Islansox, I live in Southern California, a suburban town called Northridge (30 minutes NW from Los Angeles).
I used to swim 18-20 strokes for 25 yard length. After reading you guys' inputs, I went to the pool last night and tried to exhale under water and relax my body, I reduced number of strokes down to 15-16 and I don't feel as tired as I used to. Wow, what an improvement. Your inputs are so valuable. Again, thank you all for your inputs. I have learned a lots from this forum.
