Ah! You have 4" of extra storage space. My excuse has always been
*very heavy bones* as I do not float. It makes swimming very hard work.

Fat floats, muscle doesn't, the bones don't appear to have much effect.
I sink like a stone and can just sit on the bottom of the pool.

If my lungs are full of air I just about float. Breathe out and I sink
like a stone - except in sea water.
