I am new to swimming...I basically am only able to swim free 50yds at a time without getting "winded". I use a kickboard for about 100yds and then start up with free again. I try to keep it up for 45 minutes to an hour. Am I kicking too much w/ the board? Would it be better to alternate free with back versus free with kickboard?
Basically I need to figure out how to get to more continuous swimming.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!

This is the kicboard I have been using - it allows me to vertical kick more comfortably and seems to require more ab strength to keep stable in the water.
Thanks for the input geochuck...is there a specific reason you don't recommend wall kicking?
