Does your body type affect treading water?

Question

hey does your body type affect learning to tread water like if your skinny normal fat or muscles? as im want to learn to tread water im 13 how long will it take me to learn with someone helping?

Answer 1

yes if your fat youll float if your skinny you will sink

Answer 2

Well if you are fat, you float naturally so treading water is super easy. If you are skinny like me you sink naturally which means you actually have to do something when treading water.

Answer 3

Treading waters easy, I don't think it matters on your body type that much.

But I think if you've got good stamina it will help.

It wont take that long at all if someones helping you, if you can already swim.
