No that's definitely not it.

You just don't know how to properly swim or tread.

I probably stay around 6-8% bf during the summer and have no problem treading, but I was an all city swimmer too.

To say that low body fat is why you can't float properly is lolable.

Edit: for OP, there's not much people on a forum can teach u.. U need someone irl watching u and practice obviously...

U wouldn't hop on a basketball court and expect to start knocking down 3 pointers your first day lol.

Yes.. Yes people do

right, people will shoot like 10% days 1.. similar to how day 1 a lot of people can only tread for a few seconds before going under water.

over time peoples 3p% will increase as will their ability to stay above water.

nice troll attempt tho.

I would guess that I can't egg beater right if I can't stay afloat without using my hands. That is a fact.

As for floating, if you can't float you can't float. There's nothing else to it. you're either positively buoyant or not. I can understand why you made the correlation given my wording. I was just saying my lack of natural buoyancy doesn't help any.

I can swim just fine. Just because I can't do a proper egg beater doesn't mean I can't swim at all. I'm clearly not on your level if that's what you meant.

noooooooooo i guess i was more in the camp of, why would you have a harder time floating than someone like me? considering we have similar bf%'s..

it just comes down to technique and practice like anything else in life.
