A low body positions magnify problems

I come away with a lot of great stuff from clinics. Here's one that was a eye opener. A vessel (swimmer's body, legs) that doubles it's depth requires eight times the force to maintain the same velocity. So, big kicks vs. small kicks, a low body position vs. one that's up, makes a difference. I'm sure you guys knew that but I thought the 8x thing was great.

    At standard temperature and pressure, the density of air is 1.2754 kg/m3 Density of water is 1000 kg/m3 or almost a 1000 times that of air. Good thanks! Funny thing is that I read today in Maglischo's book that water was.... 1000 times more dense than air! Great thanks again!
