Guess again. Human beings float just fine in fresh water. They float a little
higher in salt water, that's all.

I must not be human. I don't float.

Try again but fill your lungs with air.

If I exhale completely I sink to the bottom of the pool.
With my lungs mostly full I float fine.
For years I thought I had to keep swimming to stay afloat.
