I've just recently learned how to swim! However, I'm struggling with the breathing. lol I never did learn to swim as a kid so I mainly want to learn just for fitness. Guess you might say its on my Bucket List! lol
Okay, so my real question, trying to learn freestyle, I can do the kicks, but when I start with the arms, my kicks go every which way and my legs start to sink! Guess its a problem with coordination/rythm? Sort of a can't walk and chew gum at the same time! lol
So any suggestions on how I might improve? Or possibly try learning a different stroke?

Best bet, IMHO, would be to find a place that offers Adult Swim Lessons and give them a shot. I've taught them before, many years ago, and it's definitely a good thing to do if you need an intro to the strokes and how-to's.
Check your local YMCA to see if they offer them, and if not, someone there would probably know where the best spot is for them. If you don't have a local YMCA, maybe you have a local age-group swim team coach who might be able to offer some insight.
