Last night in my OW class in the pool we were working on weights. I was weighted down and was able to float eye level, exhaled and dropped a bit, but when I went to the bottom and tried to sit there and stay, my feet floated up and I slowly rose to the top. It actually was interesting floating up feet first because it gives you a different view, and the instructor got a good laugh out of it. We tried different weights but I still had trouble staying down with no air in my bc. What he thought should work did not appear to be enough weight to me. I had a weight belt on, trim weight and front bc weight, a shortie wetsuit, hood and gloves. We tried 8 lbs, 10 lbs 12 lbs but still I was floaty. I did not feel balanced. I should be able to stay at one depth without finning I think. What am I missing? I am a woman so I have the body fat to deal with.
