If you have the basics down, it's just a matter of refining technique. A halfway decent swimming instructor should be able to make swimming a LOT more relaxing for you... the reason you're working too hard is because you're not doing it right. Once you learn to do it correctly, swimming is easy and relaxing.
I took swimming lessons when i was little and in grade school but i think the main problem is i'm lacking in the muscle department. I'm 5'6" and about 115, not a lot of muscle on me. Once school starts back up i plan on working out again to try and fix this, i'm sure my technique could use some work though.
