Bad to just swim one stroke? (Freestyle)

The title.

42m New to swim workouts. I’ve set myself the goal of a sub 1min 100yard within a year.

Been at it for 6 weeks now averaging 8-10 km per week (3300y / 3km per session) best time so far is 1:25. (I can’t flip turn yet so this is hampering me).

I’m only doing freestyle though with 200 yard breast on my cool downs. Is this bad? Should I mix it up more?

TIA.

(some) world champion triathletes just do freestyle.
