Floating on the Water

My body is still not floating on the water ? I have just begun to learn swimming.

Do not be put off just because your body does not float. Your ability to float is determined by your body composition. Based on the scientific facts that muscle sinks and fat floats, generally speaking fat people float well and lean muscular people tend to sink. In other words, some people float and some people do not!

Learning to relax in the water is essential. Relaxed muscles are more likely to float, depending on their density. Tense muscles will nearly always sink.

That does not mean you are not able to keep yourself a float while you swim. Depending on the stroke you swim, with the correct swimming technique you will remain at the water surface.

We would encourage you to continue learning to swim and learning to stay afloat will come in time. Download our ebook 'The Complete Guide to Simple Swimming'. This contains all the swimming technique tips you will need. Click the link below for more information.
