First, stay in the slow lane, don't jump into a lane with swimmers you know will swim faster than you. It's extremely annoying and rude.
Stick with front crawl until you feel you can learn the more advanced strokes. See if you can swim 500 yards nonstop. (25yards is the pool length, so 20 laps). If you can do it fine, you should pick up a workout plan. You can find different workouts at www.about.com in the swimming section. They have tons of articles you can read if you're new or experienced, and some pretty decent workouts. I used the 5 week swimming one, but I have about 4 years under my belt, it can be used with anyone though. good luck
