It seems like such a basic instinct to keep propelling yourself upwards with your feet and hands. Pushing the water beneath you. Except that its not natural to inhale and hold breath to stay afloat. I didnt know for so long that hold your breath meant Fill your chest with air.. I DONt have fat, so I always sank like a rock until then.
