Why can't I swim any distance?

I have been swimming in the pool for a few months , but the problem is I can only manage about 3-4 lengths of a 33m length pool before I am completely knackered and need to stop. Even at training nights at a 25 m pool 4 lengths and I am really feeling the strain.
How come I see people a lot older than me just swimming and swimming and swimming?

I was the same as you then I realised (before coaching) that I was breathing all wrong and it wasn't actually cos I was knacked but more that I wasn't breathing correctly...this was fixed by reading a book
But as BonusB says a coach makes all the difference - I haven't had a consistant run with the coach but my "normal" speed has dropped in only a couple of sessions and my 50m is down a little way 2...
Yeah that sounds about right - I am always out of breath more than can't physically go on. What was this book you read about breathing?
the thing i was trying to do was hold my breath underwater then try to exhale and inhale out the water which you don't have time for...
