Try breathe every 3 as much as possible, and concentrate on technique ( head still, elbows up, long strokes, even kick). The more you concentrate on trying to swim as technically correct as possible, the harder the session becomes. The default is for your stroke to become a bit messy, especially as you tire, so stay on top of it - keep thinking about swimming with good technique.
