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…?

People can and do tread water or float for days.
But you need to know how.
And you can’t do it while sleeping.
So not forever.
That’s not taking into account waves, cold water, or other difficult conditions.
