Question

What would happen if you tried swimming wearing wellies? Would they drown you, or just fall off?

Answer 1

they'd drown you lol

Answer 2

nothing will happen, it will just make it harder to swim. They wont particularly cause a problem.

Answer 3

what are wellies???

Answer 4

No you wont drown!!!!! LOL , If your wellies are tight and close fitting they will only hold a bout a mug full of water and underwater you wont notice this much extra weight at all!

The only problem is getting out of the water your feet will feel heavier from  water in the wellies! But empty them out and they should dry quick enough!

I would say that only really loose fitting wellies which are too big will fall off!

Answer 5

they would fall off and go to the top of the water. its called gravity.

Answer 6

They would fall off.

If they didn't, you'd have to be a strong swimmer to float or swim still.

Answer 7

it depends on how tight, and how big the wellies are. if they are too big for you, then yes, they probably would, but if they were too small and very tight, then no.

Answer 8

Try it?!

Answer 9

If  you are lucky they will fall off,If not it is most likely you will drown.

Answer 10

I fell out of a boat with my wellies and I am still here. (and I still have my wellies)
