Back in the days of B&W TVs I was in the boy scouts. At summer camp, they said we all had to learn to float in the lake. I was a very skinny and active kid, with all muscle and very low body fat. I just sank like a rock. Several instructors held me at the surface, and let go, and down I went. Every councilor tried to get me to float, and I just sank. They were all puzzled until the old grey said "he is too skinny to float".

I could tread water with just my hands or just my legs, and swim like a fish. Floating was not an option for me. They allowed me to earn my swimming merit badge even though I could not float. The old grey said you will never teach a rock to float.
