Why do i sink so fast in water?

Question

i have low body fat percentage and im not that heavy.

Answer 1

skinny people sink more than people with more fat, because fat makes people float.

Answer 2

Well, our swim instructor in gym told us lighter skinnier people tend to stay afloat longer than larger, heavier people.

Answer 3

your low body fat % is probably why. Fat is around the same mass as water, and muscle is 3x heavier then fat. and total weight has nothing to do with it, it's really how heavy you are compared to how much surface your body has. for example, a tall skinny guy would sink faster then a short fat guy.

hope that helps!
