Floating and sinking: the push of the water, sentence 17
A life jacket is full of foam or air, adding lots of size but little weight, and a good one turns you face up even if you cannot swim; it also keeps up a good swimmer who gets tired, cold or hurt.
Who acts: life jacket, good one, you, jacket, good swimmer · What happens: be, add, turn, face up, not swim, keep up · To what, where: lots, you, good swimmer
