Thank you - you are all quite kind!

If I can actually become a proficient swimmer, I would like to (SAFELY) push the limits a bit with underwater action like being trapped momentarily.

Hi, and welcome! And good job on continuing your new fitness and swimming lifestyle. Regarding the "underwater action" that you might someday experiment with, perhaps the idea of momentarily being trapped underwater (while wearing a speedo of course!) is a fetish of yours, and if so, then ok. But if you become a really good swimmer and very comfortable in the water, I highly encourage you to consider underwater swimming while holding your breath, and even deeper breath hold diving, both aspects of what is called Freediving. DON'T DO IT ALONE AND UNSUPERVISED THOUGH!!!

I'm here to tell you, the feeling of total body immersion and gliding along quietly and comfortably at depth in nothing but a speedo is indescribably amazing.

I definitely want to become comfortable in the water and be able to move like an expert before I try anything. (I may enjoy reading underwater fiction, but real life drowning is not my thing. HA HA.) And I want to push my limits over time for sure with a friend who may also be into it and is proficient in the water.

This is the part that is taking time since I need to continue working on loosening up. (Funny - my trainer says I need to tense up on land and tuck in the gut slightly and not be so loose. My swim instructor wants me to loosen up completely in the water and not be tense.) I suspect this is the reason why I cannot sustain a tread for long periods of time. Also, there are times where my legs (usually a calf muscle, but sometimes a hamstring) cramp.

I also need to work on my breathing. When I do the freestyle or breaststroke (the latter of which I seem to add some extra dolphin kick before starting the motion), I am able to get a breath, but it never feels like enough. I eventually need to stop to breath, but I am nowhere near winded and can restart right away.
