I had all the camp counselors try to teach me to float. I did exactly the body position as they held me at the surface, and they slowly removed the support, and I sank like a rock. Fortunately I could swim like a fish, and knew many different swimming strokes.
My Dad was an executive with the boy scouts when I was a youngin. We lived in Defuniak Springs, Florida and used to go to camp Euchee all the time!!!
