I’ve had twits like you telling me “everybody floats” all my life. No. Wrong. Not everyone has the same density. Not even close. And in fresh water - where they do these tests - forget it. Some of us are not “close to” water density - at all. I sink in salt water.

That's exactly what the guy I taught to swim said.

Well, it’s true that people with extremely low body fat don’t float as well as people with a little fat on their bodies, it doesn’t mean that they cannot swim as well. Just look at Michael Phelps. Do you think that he as enough body fat to easily float???
