A simile is a comparison of two unlike things, typically marked by use of "like", "as", "than", or "resembles". Examples may include "the snow was as thick as a blanket", or "she was as smart as a crow", or the usage of emotions similes like "madder than a bull" "fast like a cheetah". Your example does not meet this definition.
I am as good a swimmer as a stone; I always sink. That would be a simili.

Yepp it is definitely a simile. You feel as though you are falling in the ocean, but it is just a figurative speech and not literal, hence it is a simile. It is also a simile because there is the presence of the word "like".
Anyway, I recognize the lyrics. It's from the song "Into The Ocean" by Blue October right? Ok, good luck for your project! :)

"swimming is like falling in the ocean" is a simile. I don't think "feels like" comparisons count as similes, but I could very well be wrong.

I want to swim away but don't know how. I'm like a chunk of driftwood, tossed by the waves. Hope this helps.

Yes, pretty much. And it's spelled "simile."

No, you are not comparing anything to anything. You are just telling how it feels.
