Hi Adam,
A 25m time for kicking with a board is pretty irrelevant really.
The top 10% of a triathlon open water field will be finishing in 17-20 minutes, but don't let that freak you out.
You need to get some technique, sir. Have a chat at your local pool about lessons for adults. Don't worry about floundering around - it just means that your learning curve will be steeper than others!
Best of luck.
