i miss my swimmer's body.
Me too. I used to look like a mini Mark Spitz. Still have to remind myself to kick while I paddle with my hands whenever I do go swimming, though. #MotorDyslexia
if i didn't kick, my lower half would sink so that was a built-in reminder for me. i am not a floater. i wonder what the floaters' secret is?

I'm definitely a floater, and I've tried to figure out how exactly I do it for years. I even tried to explain how to do it to someone ages ago, and of course, didn't know what to say. Telling him to "just relax" was obviously of no help to him whatsoever, though it's basically what I have to tell myself to do every time I want to float on my back.

that is ironic, if i relax i sink like a stone, but if i'm tense only my lower half sinks with the top half much later sinking.

Yeah, rite? That's exactly what happened with my friend, I still can't even figure what muscle groups I'm using [or not] when I float on my back. I have noticed that when I let all of the air out of my lungs, I sink a bit deeper, but still can maintain my face totally above water. Recently, I was playing "The Sims 2" and discovered for the first time that I could command a character to float on their back in a swimming pool, thinking to myself, "How exactly do we DO that...?"
