Sinker or Floater?

[piikki]

I have a cold and am BORED. I want to post polls

Are you sinker or a floater? People always comment on my 'ability' to float (I could probably sleep on surface and not snort water). I have heard about 50% of people are floaters, the other half sinkers.

With nothing else but your swimsuit/trunks, do you float or sink in fresh water?

I can float but annoyingly with my head JUST under the water.

 

[dlndavid]

a floater for sure

I am kinda in between..my upper body floats, but my legs sink!

I'm definitely a sinker. I can lay on the bottom of my pool.

... during my Discover Scuba pool session, the instructor kept having to request more weights from the side of the pool in order for me to be able to descend. I had purged EVERY ounce of air from my BC and my lungs... but remained bobbing on top. Finally, he graciously commented, "Well... some of us are just more naturally buoyant than others." Hence, the Scubaboard moniker.... Big-n-Buoyant

Now, I'm not quite so big as 13 years ago (trimmed ~70 lbs!) but still just as buoyant. I still keep secret from the dive master or boat captain just how much I add because they try to talk me out of it!

I am a floater. I have been a competitive swimmer most of my life, and have two built-in buoys lol
My husband, on the other hand, sinks, no matter what. he literally uses 6 pounds with no wet suit to dive...lol
