You're hearing your pulse! The pillow blocks out other noise and you can really hear sounds that are being made by your own body. Happens to me, too. (Happens to most people, I imagine.) But sometimes your head is not in the right position, or there is other noise in the area, or you're really tired and fall asleep quickly, so you don't notice it.\nIf you ever have a chance to be in  Sensory Deprivation Tank, you will hear ALL your body sounds! It is really noisy and can be a bit weird.

If you are hyperventilating or have eratic breathing, it would help control that as you can't breathe and swallow at the same time. (If you do you'll drown).

Without floaters is best.  Ideally you want your child to learn to swim with an accurate feel for the water.  Using floaters inhibits your child's movement in the water, and it also inhibits the child's feel for the water and their ability to learn to float and move together.  In the long term, this could actually hurt their chances of being great swimmers (I know, what are the chances anyway, but just in case).  I know that sounds silly, but the way a child learns to swim affects their potential as a swimmer.  If they have to learn to swim before they learn to float on their own, it can prevent them from getting a good feel for the water, and it can result in a more difficult style of swimming in the long run.  No legitimate swim lesson program should use floaters unless absolutely necessary (very scared child, child with some sort of disability).  Also, don't let your child hear your husband saying he thinks they need floaters.  Your child needs to have confidence in his ability to learn without them.  I'm sure you know how easily kids pick up on their parent's uneasiness about something.  By far the best thing to do is to spend time with your child at the pool and be comfortable, not stressed or nervous, so that your child feels comfortable in the water.

The safest way without drugs is an isolation chamber. Floating in complete darkness, in a liquid with the same temperature and specific gravity as the body for an extended period can often induce an out of body experience, along with auditory and visual hallucinations. It may feel like you're leaving your body, but the fact is it's simply an illusion caused by not enough bio-feedback stimulating the part of your brain responsible for situating your body in space. There have been numerous University studies that have used isolation chambers, in part seeking a rational explanation for near-death and out of body experiences. Interesting stuff.

You float without weight there.

That is a trial & error answer... what works for one person won't necessarily work for u.  Having said that " You got to get into a pool therapy program." Part of getting through to the best level of lifestyle is moving! These are special, extra warm water pools to help use the muscles u have without putting too much stress. Being in a supportive group, excercising brings forth positive endorfins.  This disease u definately got to be positive thinker.  Some meds do provide temporary relief but their is no cure all. Some think infrared therapy on certain sites makes the muslecs  more agaile.

It improves your connection to your senses plus makes you more aware of your surroundings.\n\nIt also eases the tension in you because of the positions you do and the silence you seldom get in this fast-paced world.\n\n:D

I dont think thats something you could do by taking cold showers, body mass does make a difference when you are getting into the pool.. but I think the more you do it, the less it will matter to you being chilly\n\nYou'll get used to the feeling of chilliness.. but your body wont necesarilly adapt to it

Adding air to a tank doesn’t make it float better. Air has weight. ADDING air to anything will make it heavier. The tank would float best if you could take all the air out of it altogether, but you can’t do that without it collapsing. In fact if you could take all the air out of the tank without it collapsing it would float so well that it would be possible for it to float away on the air like a helium balloon. \n\nI kid you not.\n\nSo why does adding air to a tank APPEAR to make it float better? It’s not because you add air to the tank, it is because you are forcing water out of the tank. Although air has weight it weighs much less than water. When you add more air you force out more water. That makes the tank relatively lighter and it floats better.

A ballast tank is tank used to hold ballast.  Ballast is weight used to steady or hold something down.  \n\nSubmarines rise and fall by altering their buoyancy (ability to float).  Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the object.  If the object weighs more than the amount of water it displaces, it will sink.  If it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces it will float. A submarine therefore alters is weight in order to alter its bouyancy.  A submarine submerges by allowing water to enter the ballast tank thus creating a negative buoyancy.  A submarine rises by blowing the water back out of the ballast tank thus producing positive buoyancy.

Just make sure you are swimming slightly b/c if you are not moving you will get a heat shield ora thing around you. Similar to that fume thing when you put gas in your car.

apo2_99 is wrong, you do sweat, but your in a pool so who cares.  but there are many advantages.  good for cardiocascular stuff, both aerobic and anaerobic activity.  stretches out your muscles, relieves stress, helps you sleep, keeps you in shape/ gets you in shape.  very fun.  good way to avoid drowning.  and just by learning to swim, you'll be a better swimmer than 95% of the world, so that is cool.

An easy way to answer your question would be that you take a glide in your breaststroke, in this glide you can rest (and stretch) usually for 1-3 seconds (in a lap-swimmer non-competitive style breaststroke).  You do not get this pause/rest/glide in freestyle, thus it feels like you are working harder in freestyle and can swim for longer with breaststroke. \nBy The Way...Bogeythedog's comments are also valid, take them on board also.

you are naturally bouyant, fill your lungs with air as much as you can, and you will float... just dont panic when a wave hits your face

It can be tough to get into and out of a pool safely if you are recovering from an injury that may affect your balance.  As with other types of physical therapy, you have to be careful not to try to do too much too soon.  The water can be very healthful, but it can tire out or injure muscles, ligaments, and tendons like other types of resistance exercise if you are not careful.
