Mr. Robertson,
I can help you with the treading of water. The key is to relax. This is true with almost any water-involved activity. If you fight the water, you will not do well. You should be able to tread water for 2 hours, not 2 minutes, as there is very little physical exertion involved when done properly. The way I do it is slowly scissor kick and wave arms in front, only when needed and just enough to raise the breathing apparatus (mouth and nose) above the water.

It sounds like you are fighting against the water. Just relax.

Still want to quit?
