There's a very good book called "A House in Space" (sorry - can't
remember author/publisher) which describes the experiences of
the skylab crews.

The accounts of living in a weightless environment are quite
fascinating.  They had to be careful they didn't inhale small
object (nuts, bolts, erasers etc).  Most of us have witnessed
their space gymnastics performances and running around the
inside of the lab cylinder in self created "gravity".

In this book they describe the problem of drifting away
from handholds while engrossed in some activity.
They COULD swim back to the wall using a vigorous dog-paddle
technique.
