× it gave less pressure to my body in the water because it flows me up
✓ it gives less pressure to my body in the water because it floats me up
The verb 'gave' is in the past tense, but the sentence is describing a general fact, so present tense 'gives' is appropriate (Problem Type 5). Also, 'flows me up' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'floats' to describe buoyancy (Problem Type 9). Use 'floats me up' to express the water supporting the body.
× You just need to know what's the best way, what's the most efficient way to to really learn how to swim
✓ You just need to know what the best way is, what the most efficient way is to really learn how to swim
The sentence structure is awkward and incorrect. The embedded questions should be structured as 'what the best way is' rather than 'what's the best way' in this context (Problem Type 26). Also, the repeated 'to' is a typo and should be corrected.
× they enjoy the swimming by themselves and just enjoying the time without any disturbance
✓ they enjoy swimming by themselves and just enjoy the time without any disturbance
The phrase 'the swimming' is incorrect; 'swimming' as a gerund does not need 'the' here (Problem Type 11). Also, parallel structure requires 'enjoy' to match 'enjoy' earlier in the sentence.
× swimming in ocean you usually taste it salty
✓ swimming in the ocean you usually taste it as salty
The noun 'ocean' requires the definite article 'the' (Problem Type 17). Also, the phrase 'taste it salty' is incomplete; 'taste it as salty' is more correct to express the sensation (Problem Type 11).
