    Did your daughter see the answer? If she gave a valid e-mail address, she would have received an alert that her question was answered 7 minutes after it was asked.

      you float because your body is full of oxygen in your lungs and blood. if you were to blow out all your air, you would sink to the bottom. i dont suggest trying that unless you are in the shallows and can come back up for air quickly
