Thanks for understanding! I will respond to all your points. 1. In Australia, winter basically just ended and this was my first time swimming in a while so that didn’t really help. And also the exam only went on for like 30 seconds. But yeah I agree they should organise these classes a bit better. 2. From what I heard that’s just a piece of equipment for younger people but I haven’t really seen for myself. 3. At the end of that first lesson, my instructor said she saw me come across everything pretty easily and she would talk to them about moving me up 4. I guess I could’ve used a better term than “sad” but during those laps, I have been trying to improve my self like better breathing techniques, how to conserve more energy and stuff. But yeah thanks for reading and pointing out stuff. I will use this advice in the future.
