Yep that's right because you need to build the strength and stamina to get those mucles used to swimming.
A great way to build strength is to get surgical tubing, like 3-4 feet of it and tie loops on each end so you can grab on to them.
Now the surgical tubing around a pole and practice the bottom of stroke of freestyle(when your hands/arms are underwater).
Another way while you're swimming, is to do backstroke, which will also strengthen different muscles that help to stabilize your strength.

You most likely need to build some strength up in your arms. Also make sure you are breathing enough; every 3 is good. Keeping a stay kick would also help some. Good Luck!

Try doing some dryland excercise's with your arms, to strengthen them. It will help a lot. Your arms might just not be in shape for how much swimming your doing. Get a good coach and have him/her give you some good workouts to strengthen your body, and help you go faster
