How long can the average person tread water for?

I don't spend much time in water but it seems like it would be pretty easy

Fat will both keep her warm and float her. If you've got any decent amount of muscle and are also low fat, you'll probably sink like a stone and have to paddle 5x as much as her. She'll win.

2 minutes?

Its a pretty big efficiency thing. If you don't learn to do it efficiently and get used to riding really low in the water, you'll eat a big one really quick.

how is treading water defined? If you can do dead man's float you can hang in the pool for hours if it's not too cold.

Wait a minute, are you from Jersey? If you're a guido, you could just float in the grease.

Floating is not treading water.
