Short answer: yes, it's worth the effort if you approach it correctly.
**Why:** once you have done it once, the second time takes half the effort. Specifically with better: start simple and add complexity only when justified.
**Watch out for:** overtraining without adequate recovery. This catches a lot of people who assume better is simpler than it actually is.
**To go deeper:** cross-reference at least three independent sources before deciding.
Realistic time to feel confident: faster than you think once you get the first working example.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with better.
I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 64% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. swimming has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** environmental or configuration differences that aren't obvious at first glance.
To narrow it down: compare a known-good example side by side with your setup. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
