You may want to learn the breast-stroke.
It is considered a relaxing swimming stroke that I use for long durations.
Your swimming instructor should be able to coach you effectively.
The side-stroke is also a fairly relaxing swimming stroke.

You may also consider connecting with other swimming instructors.

Hi Everyone,

For a year or so, I have been trying to learn how to swim. While I have been
able to learn how to float in water etc., the method that I adopt for
traversing the water is still what they call doggie pedal. Basically,
instead of moving my hands in a fluid way, such that I would be able to push
the water backwards which is how freestyle works, the manner in which I
operate is such that I put my hands in and bring them out. As a result, I
end up taking much more time and energy to cover the water.

My trainer tells me to be more relaxed and to loosen up my body a bit, but I
have not been able to effectively implement that advice. Further, this
problem of my body being too tight often comes up even when I try doing such
things as dancing or running. I am wondering if others can share pointers on
how this can be addressed.

Best,
Rahulz
