How to swim ?

Question

last time i took a swim was back when i was 11 and i couldn't swim in the deep end, now i will be tested for swimming ability (for military purposes) in a couple of day, my question is how can i float ? i mean i can swim from one end to another but i cant stand in one point without my legs getting heavy for more than 30 secs.

Answer 1

Float on your back.

If you're talking about treading, move your legs around in circular motions, one leg at a time. When I first started swimming, I couldn't tread. I would always do breaststroke kicks, but you learn to tread gradually.
