Struggling to keep your legs from sinking in the water—no matter how hard you kick or how low you keep your head? You’re not alone. But why do some swimmers maintain a perfect body position even when they’re looking forward and barely kicking?

In this episode, after coaching over 6,000 swimmers, I break down the real reason your legs are sinking, what you can do to fix it (even if you feel like a natural sinker), and share one powerful tip that can help you float more easily—something most coaches never talk about.

We’ll look at how your body’s weight distribution affects your position in the water, and the key adjustments that can transform your technique.
