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 ☺️

I took adult swim lessons and they were great. The instructor definitely understood that swimming can be a bit intimidating as an adult and she was super kind and patient. By the end of my lesson series I could comfortably swim lanes in 3 different types of strokes (although not very fast:) and dive! Even more importantly I felt like I could swim lanes for practice without being intimidated. I hope you have the same good experience!
I got goggles and partway through I got a nose clip and that helped me a lot!
