This video still doesnt show how the fuck to float.

I was traumatized as a child by a babysitter giving me a bath, and a swim teacher who didn't pull me up immediately.

Now I'm using Youtube to learn to swim. Fuck my life.

u ppl just need to do what he does,one the most important things is,doh,breathing in before u start ''floating like a dead body'' or whatever u call it :)) simple as that,then u have to try to make your heels go almost paralel to the waterline;...i mean,it's obvious that,since u have an 'air tank' in ur upper body and the heels high,the rest of ur body will naturally follow,right?u can't expect to learn how to swim from just watching a vid,u need to try it urselves and adapt it to ur bodies :)

Dang. This video should be called "How to float like a dead body."

If i wanted to learn how to look like a dead body in the water, i'd just go in the water and try to swim.

[ritchiereech]

I would learn faster if he would do it wearing a spedo or something like that.
