Tips & Warnings
Relaxing is the key to floating.
Very thin or very muscular people often have more difficulty floating.
Keep some air in your lungs at all times. Experiment with this by breathing out all your air and noticing how you begin to sink.
It's easier to float on your back in calm water.
Never swim alone.

Hahaha there's nothing better than that at the pool :D I once came running and screaming and closed my eyes and jumped from a 5 metre high board! The screaming made it even more fun ;)

It must be fun.. I'm really scared of diving for some reason. I always end up jumping with my hands by my side instead.

Hey now I can do even that!

Of course! Almost everyone from the army knows how to swim since they're like 4 years old. I can do everything except diving.
