Default water bag usage

Given the record setting soaring weather in the mid-south and southeast this year, does anyone have any experience inflating their water ballast bags so as to be used for a flotation device? Seems like the only way to use them. That's what they're for right? By the way, how do you thermal in the rain? Has anyone ever calculated a polar for an ASW20 fitted with a float kit? Thanks
