I'm fat. Why is it so hard for me to swim to the bottom of a pool?

Question

I don't understand this

Answer 1

Those little petite girls have less percentage of body fat, and as previously addressed, fat is much less denser than muscle, and therefore more buoyant.

I would suggest that you maintain an exercise and diet regimen to decrease your total body fay, this will make you more able to go down to the bottom of the pool.

I SCUBA, and because of the buoyant gear I wear, I have to carry an additional amount of lead weight.  This weight depends upon the wet suit I am wearing.

Answer 2

Adipose tissue (fat) is  very buoyant.

Answer 3

you still can float and maybe you running out of air when you get there idk  

Answer 4

fat weighs more than muscle.

fat floats, muscle sinks.

dont think your fat *** is going to sink to the bottom!

Answer 5

your probably holding too much air in your lungs

just let some go, and youll sink farther to the bottom

(but make sure you have enough to come back up!!)
