By the sound of it, you need a teacher who can help you learn to relax in the water. You are very unlikely to sink even in a pool, but frenzied paddling makes it seem like you will if you stop doing it even for a second. I wish I had a convenient swimming pool & the time to go to it. I used to go twice a week, I loved how it helped me wind down after a tough day. Swimming in the sea is great fun, some of my best holidays have involved lots of sea swimming :-)
