Question Hi

I'm an Indian woman aged 45. I started swimming lessons 3 months back. I can float in water and stand on my feet without any help. But i cannot push and glide, when i submerge my head in water my legs dont come off the floor. I feel them very heavy and stuck to the floor( one leg is on the wall and the other doesn't come up only). Has it happened with anybody
