Well, what is seasoning? This is referring to the habit of adding herbs, spices and other flavours to food so that over the process of cooking, the taste becomes much more rich, much better.

Metaphorically, it tells us that people who do something for a long time have qualities added to them which are enriching and somewhat unpredictable. A person who has been swimming for a long time, in many different situations both planned and unplanned, has become someone with a lot of deep knowledge about the art of swimming. You could not plan a curriculum to teach this – the person has to do it for themselves. This is how a person becomes seasoned.

Now, you can practice something a lot and get a lot of experience, but it is not exactly the same thing as becoming seasoned. Experience can be limited by circumstances. You can practice languages online for years, but never travel to another country. Such a person might be very experienced with the language, but we would not say that they are seasoned.

✓ With these three things, I became a much better swimmer and everything felt more natural.

It sounds arrogant to say 'I became an amazingly good swimmer,' unless you went to the Olympics or something. Also the simile at the end, 'like a sea creature,' feels very out of place/weird - just say swimming became more natural.
