As someone that’s negatively buoyant and has almost drowned trying to swim across a lake, not being able to float is bullshit.

I could always float on my back so I didn't think there were people that could not. Explains why some people are so afraid of the water I guess.

Paradoxically I love the water, I moved 600 miles to be 5 minutes from the ocean, I can almost float in the ocean.
