When I was around 15 I had gone for a 3 week swimming class where I was taught freestyle swimming. After the class I was able to swim around 25m freestyle. Nothing more. Soon after that I got busy with life and never went swimming.
I had gone to swim at a shallow 5ft pool recently and I realised that I have forgotten everything.So I decided to take classes again.
Now after more than 10 years I rejoined swimming classes to relearn the basics. It's been two weeks and I feel I haven't made much progress. I am struggling with my kicking, especially during the pull. I either stop my kicks or my kicking becomes weak when I focus on my arms for pulling. And because of that I struggle with breathing as well.
I also struggle with 'sculling' where I have to lift my head up to take a breath. Whene I lift my head, my legs go down.
I also get tired pretty quickly after a few drills. I am the only adult in the class, and it gets kind of embarrassing when all the kids are able to keep up while you're struggling.
What can I do? Should I try to look for a personal instructor or just keep practicing.
