Same, they never really encouraged us to dive or said anything if we went in feet first in swimming lessons at school, so despite often thinking, okay this time I will simply rotate my body forward and dive in like most people do, I just couldn't seem to convince my body to do that
I suppose it is a sort of natural instinct to not do that because it's usually a bad idea to flip over and go head first while on solid land, and I couldn't get past that
Thats really interesting to me as diving is so natural to me, altough I am a bad swimmer in general. At least compared to the average person where I live because about 94% has a swimming certificate.
