So today was my first day at swimming classes. I sucked so bad that the coach mentioned I had established a new record of not learning floating in 1 hour 45 mins. I was basically taught floating. Everyone picked it up in 10 mins and I was not able to do it even after 1 full session. They told me to glide using the float as well. Failed at that too.
Things they told me/feedback: your body is too stiff, your shoulders are above water, your shoulders are stiff, your legs are too stiff, why cant you keep your legs straight and together, keep your legs together.
Again the coaches are really good, they are trying their best but I really suck. They didnt even scold me although I really deserved one based on my performance.
Any tips on how to do better based on the feedback they have given?
