"It". :)

Definitely you mean: I learned breathing technique for swimming in two years.
If someone asks what did you learn? You answer: Breathing technique.
Also you may say: I learned it in two years.
So you can use it instead.

It - neutral gender (it helps us not to repeat the whole phrase: "Swimming fast can help me") -- so "it" is the 3rd personal pronoun.
I hope I helped you.

It, because it took you a whole year to learn how to breath while swimming these strokes.
