I can float because they say.... I don't sink

Wait what about a pickle storm

I didn't think I could float either. :D Since I'm like a skeleton, and more fat is buoyant apparently. >.> Everyone always told me floating is easy and just to relax, but I always sank, or my head was the only thing barely above the water. ^~^; I tried floating on my back, breathing in and out, but every time,
my legs went down,
my torso went down,
B/ I went down.
So I just held my breath, and boom! :D Floated! Then I explained that I just let my BODY relax and held my breath to float. :[ But then I was told that was wrong. That I'm supposed to breathe in and out like I did before.
>B/ It was frustrating that everyone else knew how to float, and I just couldn't for the life of me.

But it turns out I was floating correctly the whole time! :D
The body just floats!...as long as you hold your breath repeatedly. <xD Because the lungs help ya float if they're fully inflated. :3
Only thing though, legs will sink. <:/ Legs don't have lungs...not even mine. The only way to keep legs afloat is to kick a lil' slowly.
Conclusion: You can float. :D Everyone else is just saying it's easy when it's not, it's actually natural, and you gotta find what's natural to ya!

...also you can float if you aren't conscious or even alive, <X} but, like, that's for a totally different reason. O_O People sink later on, after floating. <.<; But it's just natural. We're all flippin' buoys.
.w. If you're a baby though, you need floaties.

Yeah. I can breath while I float. But like I say, the moment I move anything other than my eyes and my lungs, I'm going down. I think I could walk across the bottom of the flipping pool if it didn't freak me out.

Edit: Though... now I'm fat and jiggly. I wonder if I'd float or swim any better?

Least you can keep your head above water
I can't even manage that loooooool
My swim units back in high school, everyone else could keep floating easily, and they'd try for the middle of the deep end. I was always as shallow as allowed and by the edge because it would be inevitable that I'd splash up and grab the edge to stay up
Teachers never said anything tho

Actually, only my face. My ears get so waterlogged I feel like I'm drinking through them. And I don't feel safe in water deeper than me.

One of my sisters had the same problem as me of not being able to float and swim at the same time, but she was a little more buoyant than me. She learnt to swim underwater like an otter.

Head, face, still more than me

well maybe in a shallow kiddie pool xD

Whatever is comfortable. :]
I'm good with deep pools, doesn't matter if the depth is 8 feet or 15 feet.
^-^
Surprisingly, I'm not compatible with the ocean for some reason. >_>;
I think it's the waves...also the salt and germs...
I prefer chemically treated ponds.

iiiii can't swim.

also, anyone know if there's planned to be a second wave of items?

:/ Actually a lot of people can't.
It's pretty common. I had no idea until I traveled through the northwest United States. 8{ I was pretty surprised.

I'm waiting on that second wave of items. <x} I have too many books. >~<; I need ta spend them.

I can kinda swim
I do better on my back with the ones that make you glide for a bit
The hardest part is keeping my face above water lol

I can't float very well, but I can swim alright.

It's been a few centuries since I've last gone swimming. I'd like to try it again, some day. But then the idea of wearing a bathing suit in public is quite a deterrent.

;U; That is one reason I don't swim in public anymore. I might look Ace-okay in a swimsuit, but I'm rather shy about it in front of strangers. >~>; And I'm worried I may draw the wrong sort of attention.
The other reason is sanitation. e~e;

I'd so much rather swim in a mostly vacant pool for adult recreational use only. <:/ I miss swimming in the "privacy" of my old backyard. (privacy in quotations because there was literally only gated fences around, to which most anyone on either side of our house and in the alley could look over and see me.)

I wonder if being able to have my face above water means I'm an airhead?

So you're like my one sister.

They make ones that are actually suits, and not just string now.
