I do not know if this expression (float dead) it is well undertood in English, and may be the fact that I can not "float dead" is kind of ridiculous for some of you (for me too), but even when I have been master swimming for over 13 years now (practicing 6 days a week), and I have participated in many open water meets in my life, and some of them I have wan at my edge group (35-39).... even so I still can not play as float dead (face up) with my body, neither in a pool or on the sea.
I can do it with a pull buoy in my ancles but with out it, my feet just sink.
My both children can float dead easily since they were little (4 years old) and I show them how to do it, but I can´t, is it not funny?
Anyone have a tip?:confused:

I think that almost anyone can float. I knew a guy who were being "supported" by anohtjer person's one finger. Then when the finger was removed, the guy wudl sink. I think a lot has to do with how your arms & legs are positioned. I can float completely at the surface with out problems. I can float underwater if I bend my knees. I used to know a guy who could eat while he was floating.
