I know how to swim but I can't front: I'm still very much afraid of drowning.  I've been taught the in's and out's of floating, how not to drown, the different strokes, all that stuff... I just would hate to die because I drowned in some water.  It's wild because I'll do just about anything else as far as jumping out of planes and wild %#@.  Go figure.

Filipino grew up in Oakland - cannot swim.

Never had any pools around.

Arizona people think it is surprising.

Anyhow I grew up with a pool in my backyard. I just got back from taking a dip in the shallow end. My body just doesn't float....I'm denser than most people trust me I've tried.


I tie a rope around a pole to dive in the shallow end with a snorkel.

  

Anybody with lungs, breast, a big but, or any sort of body weight CAN float. Spread your weight out... keep your lungs above your knees. Your knees are the densest part of your body and they'll pull you down at first. Just don't ball your legs up. flail em if anything. Lord know my leg kick is $%+..

. But yeah,  eventually, you will do the dead man float though. Just relax.. hold your breath and let your back rise out of the water on it's own. The rest is just finding your buoyancy equilibrium and pulling yourself through the water while pushing the water down that's under you. I find it odd that people have to be taught how to swim. All you gotta do is let yourself learn.. use the shallow end. It's MUCH harder to swim in shallow water because less water is actually supporting your weight.. but you won't be afraid to drown unless you're a pansy

I've tried the dead man float, I just sink to the bottom. Like I said I've had years to try, my body just isn't built for swimming. Too much muscle mass maybe.

My little bro and sis can swim, I'm the black sheep.
  

yeah  bro i don't naturally float either.....fat floats muscle sinks. you gotta learn to tread water that will keep you afloat.
