PP,

Im a certified swimming teacher in my spare time - once or twice a week right now, but if you need some pointers let me know.

The british curriculum works on the BLABT theory in this order

Body Positition
Legs
Arms
Breathing
Timing/Technique

so your main concern initially is streamlining and making sure you have the least amount of drag working agianst you. the more stramlines you are, the faster you will go. You may have a great technique or more fitter than the next competitor, but if you're not streamlined in the water, you're going to burn out a lot faster.

although transitions are important, im not sure how serious you are taking this sport. I'd say start with working on your endurance training first, with transitions later.
