Because everybody, body, everybody, everybody's body is made differently. As far as the physiological makeup, muscle density, the amount of fat that you have just kind of how your body is put together, you're going to be either a sink or a floater, or something in between. And so understanding kind of where you are in that starts to get you along the path towards how soon should you exhale when you swim, how important is it to have the full oxygen in or the full lungs filled with oxygen in your body to help you balance. Some people have an incredibly difficult time balancing. And it could simply be because their body density is such that they're just going to sink as soon as they let the air out. So understanding how this works is something that is a kind of awakening for people. For other people, it's a little scary to just simply exhale all of your air. But if you're if you want to try it and kind of see where you stand in the water, or where you think in the water, then this is an interesting experiment for you to try. So basically, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to get into a tight ball. And then I'm going to start to exhale all of my air through my nose. So it's going to slowly exhale through the nose. As more air escapes, I will probably start to sink, I hope I start to sing. And so I start to understand how much air I need to keep in my lungs to allow me to start practicing balanced drills. And to have something to press on. That would then bring the hips up. If I let too much air out and I'm sinking, then if you sink and press at the same time, you're in big trouble, you're gonna go really far down. So depending on how fast you sink in this exercise may help you determine how much air you should retain while you're swimming before you focus on the exhale when you go to breathe. So here we go. I'm going to get into a ball and I'm going to sink. So first, take a nice deep breath of air.

So experiment with body density, how much oxygen can you sink? Are you sinking immediately that the air comes out? Can you float at all in the ball position when you have lungs filled with air? So these are just different things that you can try
