its so much harder than it used to be lol. i can barely float. havent swam in 2 years, wondering if anyone else had this experience

I cannot swim bro. I sink like a rock. way too muscular, thats why swimmers are all scrawny.

I dunno the biology behind it, but from people have said muscle has higher density than fat. so if you carry way more muscle then fat you will sink.

I've been there. Swam competitively all through highschool... was never a big guy, but no fat either. Couldn't float back then, not enough fat.

Since I went from 150-190, swimming is entirely different. I still can't float, but man do I feel powerful in the water. I can't match the times I swam in HS (not even close, actually), but then I'm not swimming 2-4 hours a day, either. Still, the feeling of just tearing through the water is something I never had when I was small.
