New Podcast Episode: The Physics of Panic. 🎧

Why do adult beginners sink? It's usually not "heavy bones." It's the Teeter-Totter Effect.

When we panic, we lift our heads. When the head goes up (the lever), the legs must go down.

In this episode, we explore how to override that instinct and "Press the Buoy" to find natural balance. A good listen if you want to understand the mechanics of relaxation.

Swimming Tip: If you struggle with sinking legs, stop kicking harder. It's likely a buoyancy issue caused by head position.

Think of your body as a see-saw. Your lungs are the pivot point. If you lift your head (even slightly) to "stay up," your legs have to drop.

The solution is the "Sink-to-Float" drill. It teaches you to press your chest down and trust the water's support.
