Subject: Swimming better with rest gaps for laps

So following the good advice here from my last post, I started swimming single lengths (25m) and restin 30sec in betweem.

This is what it looks like:

My plan (and understanding) is that I should basically keep doing this while focusing on technique, and slowly reduce the rest time till I can do it continuously. Would that be a logical plan?
