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 ☺️

It sounds like the fact that you don’t understand the mechanics/physics of swimming is causing you more anxiety than might be useful. Try this thought experiment: Do you drive? Do you understand exactly how a car runs? I’m thinking probably not; I sure don’t. But, I am a good driver because I learned how to do it. All sorts of people learn to swim. It may be difficult and scary at first but you CAN do it.
