I'm an AA male and I need to past my float test, the best I've been able to do is 3 mins. If I stop moving I sink like a rock. Are there any tricks that I can use to help out. Why is the 10 min float a necessary skill??
I don't understand what AA male means? But I found and enjoy just doing floats is either just laying back and just chilling. Or my fav is doing a cross county ski move. Opposite hand opposite foot and just doing that, just like you are sking. Like you, if I just stop moving, I am at the bottom. The ski move takes almost no energy to keep it up.
Sorry, forgot to add that when doing the ski move, I body position is like I am sitting in a chair. Bottom down toward the bottom of the pool.
