Question
Thanks for the reply

The problem is that, I have no one to train me & I don't have much money to learnt other stroke. My aiming is to reach the end within 10 sec or 20 sec then try to join in the club. First I swim is 10 mins then 5 mins & now is 2 mins. I pray to God & God has answer my prayer. You know how fast I am going. I can't believe it!! Thanks to God

Mon to fri - 2 hours a day will my chest get that Muscle Shape? I don't know how many laps? I never count. This time I will count how many laps. Thanks friend.

Happy easter friend

How to train on my breaststroke? For breaststroke will my back get stronger or will my stomach get smaller? I can swim abit faster because I swim for two hours everyday then sat & sun rest then so on. I only know about breaststroke & nothing else. I am good at breaststroke so I like to improve it better.

Good day

the frog style(breast stroke) is not a terribly fast stroke any way

I forget to tell you this - I watch TV about swimming breast stroke. They swim one end to other end in about five or ten sec & 25 laps they complete in 14 mins then fast. I swim one lap one end to other end in about 10 mins then slowest. Their 14 lap equal to my one lap hahaha.

How could you say it's not a terribly fast stroke anyway?

Hi sir/madam

I am 100kg & 1.7m tall. I try to swim frog style & I am very slow in swimming. Those fat guys/gals or old guys/gals can swim faster then me. I swim from one end to another end = one time & they swim two time. How? I am been swimming for the one week. Why I can't swim faster?
Answer -
First of all--
You said you have only been swimming for 1 week, that's not a very long time, the people you are comparing yourself to have probably been swimming for a much longer time.  Give yourself some time, a couple of months at least, before you are worried about how fast you are swimming.  Also,the frog style(breast stroke) is not a terribly fast stroke any way.
Worry more about how you are progressing, not how you compare to people who have probably been swimming for years.
Hope this helps,
George

Simon--
The people you are watching on TV are either swimming in a very short pool or they are using a time lapse photography.  The world record for 50m. Breaststroke is still just under 30 seconds and 100m.is 59 seconds.  The reason I say it is not a terribly fast stroke is that compared to records in other styles it is slower.  In Freestyle the world record for 50m is 22secs. and for 100m is 48 sec.  In Backstroke, it is 24 or 25 sec. for 50m and 52 sec for 100m.
How long is the pool you are swimming in?  If it is an olympic size pool(100m), just keep trying you will get faster. Don't expect to keep up after the short time you have been swimming, it takes time.
Best of Luck and let me know if you have any thing else

Answer -
In breaststroke both your back and your stomach will get stronger(they are antagonists).  It is a good idea to train in other strokes as well as breast stroke, if possible, to balance out your muscle groups and to keep training from becoming boring.  
The best way to train is to vary the distance you swim as well as the rest intervals between swims.
I hope this helps

Answer
It sounds like you are continuing to do the correct things, but you may want to try to get involved with the club team sooner as this would help you get faster and help you to learn the other strokes.  Or, ask one of the life guards at the pool you are training at if they would be willing to help you, some times they will be willing to help.
