I have always been afraid of the water, which explains why I can't swim.
Swimming is very tough, but has many uses, recreation, sport, exercise and even survival!
Thats very true, I've started taking swim lessons because half world has water on it !
You should be okay, human bodies are naturally buoyant, your body should float, so it is simple to learn
I always sink when I try to float and I hate the water getting in my ears.
We are only slightly less dense, it is 0.98 to 1.00, so you certainly can sink a good bit
