So I had my 2nd confined class and have been having an issue.
I can't get vertical. My feet seem to want to go up when I try to stay in a vertical position.
For the fin pivot I can't get my fin tips down or get my knees down.
During "play time" I can hover horizontal and control my position with my breathing but that doesn't help get the required tasks for class done.
When on the surface with BC inflated (jacket style) I tend to roll forward.
We are going to try ankle weights next time to help get my feet down a bit.
I know it is only my 2nd time in the water and I have a lot to learn about buoyancy and getting the weights right, I guess I'm just frustrated and need to know things will get better.
I have to say, two days in and I'm hooked.
Any advise or words of encouragement would be appreciated.
