Why Does the Body Submerge When Swimming? Do Overweight People Have Greater Buoyancy? Let's See Your Natural Buoyancy Value
No matter you are a swimming newbie or a pool veteran, you have all experienced the process of learning to swim from scratch, and letting your body float in the water is the starting point of your swimming journey!
When we first start learning to swim, everyone needs to first learn to let their bodies float on the surface of the water, first float up, and then you can start to do the actions.
However, during the floating learning process, you will find thatSome people did it right away, while others struggled for a long time and couldn't float up. Even if they managed to float up, their legs would quickly sink.
During swimming, you can also observe that some people's bodies are at a higher position on the water's surface, as ifThey don't need to put in much effort to achieve a good body position, but some people have no problems with their technique, but still feel very heavy in the water.Why is this the case? It's almost like not being able to keep up with their technique!
Today, let's chat about buoyancy and floating in the water.
Human body heterogeneity
Floating is a very important basic skill in swimming learning.
From the average number,Women's buoyancy is 10% greater than men.However, there may be men with very high buoyancy as well.
Some people are born with good buoyancy, and they can float well with little practice.
Another part of people may not do well at the beginning, they can float up, but they quickly 'sink into the sea'.
However, through relaxation of limbs, breathing and mentality adjustment, and repeated practice, you can correctly master the technique of floating.
Generally, if you can smoothly float on thewater surface for 15-25 seconds, you can be considered basically qualified.But a part of people, they are born with relatively poor buoyancy, and their density is large.
For example
Some male swimmers, fitness coaches, or people with low body fatno matter how they relax their breathing and posture, they cannot float on the water surface, and they only sink in a few seconds.This type of person may be good at land sports, but they lose their swimming talent when they go into the water.
What if?
Of course not, I often say that there is no one in this world who can't learn to swim.
People with good buoyancy can swim more lightly, as if they are floating on the water. If you have this advantage, you must not waste it!
Some people with particularly good buoyancy can even lie in the water to read newspapers. (Don't use iPads, they're expensive!)Correct breathing and relaxation can increase your buoyancy
so that beginners can increase their sense of security in the water.
Once you eliminate the fear of the water, you can freely do whatever you want in the water.No longer a scared little cat!
