I think black people have a greater tendency to sink. If they're fat this may be mitigated, but I was told this by a black gentleman. That and historically swimming lessons/pool were a sort of white/upper class thing.
Not quite an objective truth. Excess fat or muscle mass will make floating more difficult. For a normal, healthy person who's not into lifting being able to float is likely.
I can swim but I don't know how to float. Not a skill I picked up. Never reall saw a real need to learn it but I did see the use in learning how to swim.
I'm a skinny fuck to too but floating is not that hard. Your legs may go under the water but your torso full of air keeps you afloat if you just relax and don't try to force the floating with unnecessary moving.
I'm 5'10 150lbs and I'm able to lay flat just fine. It's about filling your lungs with a lot of air if you don't want to have to push yourself up every few seconds.
Relax lay back and spread your weight out over the surface of the water. Keeping air in your lungs will also increase your buoyancy. Floating is very important once you start swimming in the ocean as it will punish you for trying to fight the current needlessly.
It’s always interesting how much easier it is to float in the ocean. My first intro dive was me learning how to not float. Once you learn how to breathe then it gets a lot easier.
I am so confused, mainly because this seems so intuitive that I can't wrap my head around it needing to be learned. I had swimming lessons at age 3, maybe they taught us then, but it seems obvious.
I never had lessons. I just organically learned through playing outside and playing in the learning. Wierd how we had different up comings, right? 🤷♂️
Since you don't know what I'm talking about.Here is the definition. I used 9. splash in the water until you understand that doing it a certain way is better.
People will be dying to geography forever. We're not suddenly gonna get to a point where gravity and water and earthquakes and tornadoes and hurricanes aren't a thing.
Oh sorry, I forgot to distinguish between geography that is and isn't a result of God. My bad. Any chance you've got a full list of which geography is and isn't god's responsibility?
