Sinking in water

Like a ROCK BABY!

I am quite dissapointed that the poop jokes have already been taken…

“From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free”

~ Jacques Cousteau

I took a swimming class back in college about 20 years ago. The “final” was to survival float for 30 minutes. Earlier in the course, I learned my buoyancy point was about a foot below the surface so I just raised up (pushed up like a breast stroke) and breathed as I needed to then sank back below the surface. I could’ve treaded water, but I took the easier way out. I was super-lean back then. I’m a lot heavier now and have added some fat with age, but I’ve added significant muscle too, and still I “float” about a foot below the surface.

PEACE!

im a very good swimmer, know how to float and if i relax i sink. I have to tread water. On the other hand i saw this fat ass man who had no problem floating.

I’m like Goldberg… I have to try to float… I just don’t float, but know how. I also can sink and can sit on the bottom.
I thought it had to do w/ relaxation and breathing technique… dunno…

for some reason i can’t sit at the bottom of the pool or under water…i just float right back up like a bobber.
