I've been trying to learn swimming for about a year. I started to do TI with a TI coach and ended up doing drills, drills and more drills with no swimming for a year. I decided I needed to get to some real swimming so I hired a different coach to help me with stroke technique and it has helped a lot. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. My trouble is that I can't seem to get beyond swimming 50 yards without becoming a litttle winded. I need to take a few breaths before I can do more. When I started with the second coach, I couldn't even make 25 yards so I have improved. Can anyone offer advice on how to progress further? Is this something that just comes with time and practice?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes.
This is a great forum. I've been reading posts here for a long time -- hoping to pick up a good tip here and there. Its been quite a struggle for me the last year. Many times I've thought about throwing in the towel. But with a new coach and help from the users on this board, maybe I can turn things around.
