NEW SWIMMER

I just started swimming to get for my cardio workouts. My ultimate goal is to swim consistantly 3-4 times a week and maybe join the Masters Swim program. I started on 3/26 and I have done about 10 swim workouts with two weight training sessions. I'm a pretty pathetic swimmer. I breathe every stroke on freestyle and my breaststroke is worse than my freestyle. I have never done butterfly. I was actually thinking of taking some swim lessons to help with my strokes because seeing it in books and doing it in the pool seems difficult. I would appreciate any suggestions....training routines, books, videos etc.. I'm slowly trying to incorporate weights which I have always done w/ swimming. I'm 39 and a pretty good athlete. I was thinking to add some distance swims of 1600M in addition to my short intervals...and vary the length of the intervals Here's my log. Please note L is for 50M and S is for 25. The lanes are set up differently depending on the time I workout. My pool got a digital clock on 4/20 so I started timing my workouts. Sorry for the long post but I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
