Assuming that you *can* swim, but you're just unused to it: do a length, rest.
Do another, rest. Do that for 30-45mins each time you go. Go at least twice a
week. You'll be surprised how quickly you become able to do many lengths without
having to stop. Doesn't matter what stroke you do, or even if you're doing it
efficiently or not.

Of course, swimming is not necessarily convenient if your time is short, and
hardly ever free.
