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:

For years the US Military taught water survival with two categories of people:
1. Floater
2. Sinker
They determine what group you fall into by placing you in a pool with swim trunks....on your belly.....relax....take a deep breath......if you float...that is what you are...if you sink...that is what you are....in this exercise their are no in-betweens. You will either sink or float.
