Congrats on deciding to do a tri!
You can probably already do the bike and run but you'll want to practice them at least twice a week.
It sounds like the swimming is going to be you problem. Breast stroke is easy to do but I find that it really tires out my legs and makes my knees hurt. If freestyle isn't an option then I'd suggest going with side stroke. It's my go-to stroke if I get overwhelmed.
Remember to try to have fun.

I disagree about learning freestyle. I actually had a very good teacher and did it in just a few more weeks then you have. I also swam 3 days a week with a good coach/teacher and made my race (all 250+ lbs of me).
Just remember.....this is YOUR race no matter how fast, slow, average you are. The main goal is to FINISH and to have FUN!!!!!
