Generally (assuming a healthy weight) women float and men sink, due to women having a few percentage points more body fat. I imagine children sink as well as me

- dieselgate 3y ago> few percentage points For high school wrestling we got body fat analysis done. The, fit and healthy, women on the team were in the %30s while men down to the single digit %.
- filleduchaos 3y agoThat sounds highly inaccurate. Fit women (just regularly fit, not even athletes) have body fat percentages in the 20s. And unless all of you had been cutting for an event (in which case, why weren't the girls also doing that?), I highly doubt all the boys on your team had body fat percentages in the single digits. See e.g. this random sampling of NCAA wrestlers[0] with an average of ~14% body fat even excluding heavyweights. Not to mention that describing high school students as "men" and "women" casts a fair bit of doubt on this story ever actually happening. 0. https://www.levelchanger.com/blog/2020/3/24/how-fat-are-college-wrestlers https://www.levelchanger.com/blog/2020/3/24/how-fat-are-coll...
