I'd just add a variation:For buoyancy try swimming back to shore (or to boat) within 3 feet of the surface where change in pressure is greatest. Try to keep a straight line.
Bad trim does this. If you find your buoyancy varies whether you're kicking or not, your trim is off. The thrust of your kick should be horizontal with your body. Many people find that they become lighter when they kick, meaning that their legs are down a bit, giving them some upward thrust.You can offset bad buoyancy
