Need advice to gain distance on Freestyle

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?

    Wow, this is just terrific news, look how far you have come with dedication. 1900 yards is a far cry from where you were. I am thrilled for you and your progress. It sure makes it more fun, doesn't it? And a relief to be able to enjoy swimming. donna
