how long can you float?

Do you float uniformly? Or do your legs start to drop after awhile?

It did help in the Dead Sea. Otherwise, the waves are what makes it tougher. Powerful lighthouse beams are also challenging for night floating.

Most likely, yes.

My techniques are mostly spirituo-mentalist. I think about a grain of couscous buried in the marroquian desert. I am this grain of couscous, and I'm fighting and fighting to come to the surface. I picture myself moving up. It helps.

Not really. The left half of my body floats higher than the right. I suppinate too.

i always start sinking immediately. my lower body goes under first, and drags the rest of me down. i always thought it was because i had low body fat, but i became a fatass two years ago and the sinking still happened

kunk, you seem to be a guy who is capable of getting back way ahead. and being a blastshield for your family during harder times.

i love this movie , Where God Left His Shoes , with John Leguizamo. i watched that and it is just what a family does to survive in their own realistic way. feel so blessed after watching it. i highly recommend it

I blundered into the thread thinking it was a swimming question. My answer would have been that I'd have a U- designation.
