@Emoticonia

spread out your arms, raise the knees to your chest and at the same time lean forward, and voila

Problem is my local swim instructor SUCKS! I'm 4 weeks in a swimming class for adults and not once has she gone over how to float. And when I sink in the water she just laughs. I've had to go to asking other people I see swimming for help on this.

@kriger788 but how can you comment when you already died?

i can barely float. it takes a moderate amount of concentration i have to keep my arms out, i have to kick slightly or my legs fall straight down and i have to hold my breath for most of the time then when i gotta take a breath i do it quickly.

I have a problem,sir.

i can swim but when im pushing my head up of the water by using my hands,i just cant! is it because i have no enough strength in my arm?

I've tried this for a few days. I find it terrifying for a couple of reasons. I can't tell where I am in the pool; I can't get up from floating unless I'm still at the edge (without flailing); the water often covers my face unexpectedly and I don't know what that means I'm doing wrong (so I don't know what to adjust). When I get water in my nose or throat, I can't expel it.. So: How do you stand up?? Or what if I float over to where it's too deep?? How do I get up?? Anyone, please
