How do I swim up or to surface?

Question

Everytime I dive into the water, i get scared because I do not know the proper way to swim up. I start moving my hands up and start pattleing, I reach the top but I reach really tired, but just enough to get out of the pool. I hate feeling that way. Can anyone please tell me the proper way to come up from the water.

Answer 1

get into a streamline position kick as hard as you can and point your fingures up.

That's the proper way to do it.

Answer 2

arch your back after entry
