If you want to sink all you have to do is exhale the air from your lungs!!

If you want to stay under water a while there's bound to be some Navy SEAL footage available on the web to show you how to ambush people on lilos in the local swimming baths.

For all those about to stalk poor swimmers now, i ask you is it really clever and remember to buy the clip to put over your nose, it makes the urge to breath through your nose so much easier!!

FlowerOfTheSun: I have discovered today that I am not alone!!! Apparently some people just can't float ...
All to do with the density of the body!!! I can apparently swim (was confirmed today - always thought I couldn't), dive, swim under water, float on my back BUT can't float verically in the water (tread water) It was driving me nuts!!!

So apparently people who are slim AND muscly find it harder to float!!! Because their body is denser!!! Looks like I'm pretty dense coz I don't last more than a second with my mouth above water when I am in treading water position!!!
Still ... keeps me quiet for a while!!

What about you? Are you a floater or a sinker?
Would skinny dipping change the aerodynamics in sinking or floating.dunno

Xtabentun: A floater....I can't really sink, even when I try it on purpose...I am working on that at the moment but I am floating much easier


rolling on the floor laughing <--- li'l guy is kickin' his legs and tryin' to float...someone told him to suck in some air...tips over quit a bit..poor guy

Xtabentun....I'm so jealous! I can't float no matter how hard I try. moping

I've always wondered if it is possible for anyone to learn how? Or are we doomed to our float/sink status?dunno
