I can only manage half to three quarters of a length of front crawl. What is the best way to build up to a whole length?! Maybe even two lengths in one go!!?

I wish I could 🏊‍♀️ properly.
I get in trouble from the life guards for splashing too much when I try to do a length.

Alot of problems with increasing distance with front crawl is breathing techniques. So aquatic breathing ( blows bubbles in the water) then breathing to the side.

I always found it so tiring, I'd be gasping after a length if I managed that. Breathing is really key and going slowly, not trying to go fast. Maybe get a leg float thing (forgot the fancy name) so you can do lengths focusing on arms and breathing. Watch YouTube videos on technique.
I can do a few lengths now, I'm still working on it but these are what I've been doing.

Im a swimming teacher and have taught adults. You need to swim regularly to build stamia, do you breathe to the side?

Watching!

I've recently started swimming, I can do 70 lengths breakstroke but not even a whole length front crawl!
