I can only swim 25 yards, halfway or 3/4 of the way and rest. The pool whe I swim is A JR Olympic, 25 yards I think.
I was a masters swimmer 30 years ago, but I haven't been swimming since that time.
I would appreciate any suggestions. I am a former smoker, and I want to stengthen my lungs and improve my swimming. I know that I probably look like a fishing lure when I am swimming, but I know my technique will improve.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Karen,
Sounds like you need to work on your endurance before you focus on anything else. I usually tell new swimmers that they need to first have the endurance to swim about 500 yards (even with a poor stroke) before they start to work on stroke instruction.
Congratulations on being a former smoker! Stick with it and I'm sure you'll build up your endurance soon.
