why can’t you float in water forever?

617 views

Seems like you can float on your back forever, without really getting tired. When people drown in lakes or oceans, why can’t they just float until someone rescues them? I get it if you’re wearing clothes heavy with water, but if you were already swimming, or at least dressed for it…?

You can in fact stay afloat for a lengthy period of time in the ocean but…..bad things happen. Look up what happened to the USS Indianapolis for a sad tale.
