My father, for example, is a "sinker," meaning that he cannot just float quietly in water (even if he inflates his lungs); he will sink all the way under. I also met a guy who said he was the same. This guy definitely is not afraid to swim, because he is a lifeguard, and he said yeah, he can't just float like most people; he has to move around in the water to keep himself at the surface. I am wondering why there are a few people (are they all men?) who cannot float, and I'm also wondering how common this is. Thanks!
