how people swim in water

916 views

Hi guys I never learned to swim as a child, and I’ve signed up for adult swim lessons soon. Something I think will help me prepare for the lessons is I don’t know the mechanics/physics behind the motion. So I’m asking

1.) how do people float in water and why is it crucial to swimming?

2.) how do people actually move from point a to b in water while swimming?

EDIT: thanks so much to all who have responded with answers, tips, advice, and encouragement! Trying to read through all your helpful answers ☺️

As someone who learned how to swim proficiently as an adult, good for you OP for wanting to learn. I truly believe that everyone should learn how to swim. These are one of the basic skills that everyone should learn, you never know when you’ll be in open water and need this skill.
