Getting used to deeper water without tensing up.

How long does it take you to become more comfortable in deeper water. I went to the 2 feet water and let myself just float on my back and stomach and realized that the water will in fact support me no matter how I move as long as I have air in my lungs. However, when I realize that I have floated in more than 3 feet deep I feel a little funny because I don't know to touch to bottom of the pool anymore. When I was dependant on the floatation devices I was fine in six feet of water because I could get myself to stand up. You can't exactly do that when you're floating and if u can I just don't know how yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you can float in 2 feet of water, you can float in 20 or 200 or 2000 feet of water. Granted, there is a probable mental hurdle regarding deep water, but physically there is no difference. 50% of swimming is 90% mental:rolleyes:
