Something that people forget a lot (kehena and elsewhere)
Our water is really salty! You are much more buoyant in salt water and I can float just fine without even having to tread water at kehena...point being save your energy for what you actually need it for. (Like getting in and out)
Added: i think a part of floating without treading water is how you hold your air inside your diaphram ... Obviously the importang part is keeping your head up and out of the water. I'm not sure how to explain the diaphram thing any better but if you lay on the water in the calm (ahalanui/swimming pool etc) it is easy to figure out what i'm talking about - maybe someone will be able to explain what i've observed more eloquently. (Carey? Lol)
