Question

ok look it for a school paper can u help me it has to have a negative number in it and has to do with my life so yeah!!

can u tell me a another way to put it in!

Answer 1

I can swim at a depth up to, but not exceeding, 5 feet below the surface of the water.

Or, if it has to have a negative...

I can swim at a depth of -5 feet relative to the surface of the water.

Answer 2

How about, "I can swim underwater up to five feet"?

Answer 3

you can make it almost up to the surface.. idk with your self confidence.. but your still on the negative side. you cant make it out.    ??

Answer 4

It would be fine to say you can swim five feet below the surface.

Temperatures are often used for negatives (the coldest temperature I've experienced is __________).

Money and debt are also used: (I had $10, but the thing I wanted to buy was $12.  I had to borrow from my sister, so I have -$2 now.)
