I just checked times for my now 7 year old. His last times, as a 6 year old for the 25 yard freestyle and backstroke were 33 and 32 seconds. Granted he swims 4-5 hours a week and has done so for more than 2 years.
I don't think those times are too fast. I agree that you must be terribly inefficient in the water. And this coming from some someone who is fairly inefficient in the water. The question is - why? Did you forget to shave your legs and don your speedo before the swim check? That could be your problem.
