I’m seeing a lot people talking about how non swimmers react to water in a swimming sense, but not much about general floating. How do you get your body to actually float? As I mentioned in an above reply, I do not float. And my body literally just gets pulled down the further I go in. It’s not even a matter of relaxation, because even in an area where I could safely test “floating” by holding onto something and just letting the rest of my body relax, I do not get above water.
