I am not the best swimmer, should I worry?
One thing that is in your favor is that people are more buoyant in salt water than they are in fresh water. I would suggest using a snorkeling vest which is different than a divers’ flotation device (called a BCD).
The snorkeling vest is usually worn deflated while snorkeling and is orally inflated when the snorkeler needs to rest. It can be worn partially inflated as well.
There is nothing wrong with wearing the snorkeling vest as I feel, even those that can swim well, should still wear one. It adds to a higher degree of visibility in the water because of the color and lends a hand when a hand is needed.
Here is a serious video on why you should wear a snorkeling vest…. notice how tired the snorkelers got.
