Does it get easier?

My son (11) and I (41) want to take up tri's next year, so we have been going for some swimming lesson once a week. the distance is getting there (about 400m) but not all at once. I have to stop every length or two. A few times I breathe right and roll etc and it feels effortless, then it all goes to pot and I'm taking in water!
We can only manage swimming once a week at the moment due to costs. Would be better if I didn't pay the teacher £10 for the lesson each week but we have leant so much from her.
Can we do it by swimming once a week? And does it get easier to do more distance? I'm sure we will be on the startline next year. Does seem a long way off though!

Try looking up total immersion on the web - really good if you are just starting.
The more you swim the better - but always focus on technique - as soon as you feel your concentration going stop and regroup - focus on tehnique and the fitness will come.
However I am not a coach so maybe someone else will come along who is.....
Will keep plugging away and try to get down to the pool more often.
