I basically grew up not learning how to swim. I signed up for swim lessons before going to OCS, and I passed everything except the part where you wear the coverall and put air in it. For the second class swim, I volunteered to be put on hold swim because I only know how to do freestyle. I can jump off the tower and swim fine, but I can't tread water for very long. I'm also skinny and tend to sink in the water. I'm worried I might get attrited from the program.

Today was my third day and I failed the test out. I have a total of 10 days in remedial swim, and I could really use some advice.
 
The remedial is to get you to the point where you can pass. You won't be an Olympian, but you can pass. Listen to their advice, and don't get in your head that you're too skinny to float or other excuses.

Use those 10 days to become the best swimmer you can. Ask questions and leverage peers / instructors who can help you. We all have ups and downs in life and you can't let this get to your head.

Your post and mentality are misleading, if you are being sent to remedial swim, it doesn't make sense that you are being attrited from the flight program.
 
This was two years ago, but I knew atleast 2 people who spent 3 weeks in remedial before passing. I knew one guy who got sent to remedial multiple times. If you stay positive and keep slowly getting better you’ll be fine.
