Swimmers keep our head and most of the body a lot lower than the flotation level (underwater) so every kick and paddle goes into moving forward and not trying to “keep the head over the water”. this is something most “non swimmers” are not confortable or don’t know is the thing that keeps them “not moving forward”.

Every time you take your head out vertically, kick under the hips level, or push down with your arms instead of backwards moving your body forward you are stopping yourself while working.
