It is simple. When a person cups their hand and brings it towards themselves they are creating resitance to the water and are propelled forwards if they are kicking their feet while parallel to the bottom of the pool, lake, ocean ect. ect.

∙ 13y agoyes, get a lungfull of air and you'll float like a boat!
A:It really depends on one's density which is very similar to water. Some people can easily float in freshwater by lying on their backs and keeping the lungs mostly full of air. Others can't, or can't do it comfortably. Fat is lighter than water, and will actually aid in the ability to float.Saltwater in the oceans and seas is much easier to float in due to the increased density.
As dead bodies in the water decompose, they tend to fill with methane gas and will also float.

∙ 11y agoIf you are calm and relaxed enough your body is not tense and something in you skin and blood allows you to float. Then all you have to do is move your arms and legs to get yourself moving! ;)

The flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming.
Where easy to float sea or pool?
The density of all water is 1, no matter the amount or location. Humans have the density of 0.9, so humans barely float in all bodies of water.
