Fat is less dense than water, while muscle and bone are more dense. A person with a higher fat percentage will displace his weight with less of his volume submerged, so he will float higher.

What makes objects float on water?
If an object is less dense than water, it floats. I don't know exactly why having less density than something else makes something float, but I believe it has to do with the weight of the particles. The lightest ones rise to the top, while the heaviest ones drop to the bottom. This can be seen when you add oil to water.
Can pipecleaners float?
Depends on the surface area of the pipecleaners when in water. If there is enough fuzzy stuff around them, they may stay on top of the water at first for awhile but may sink if it becomes saturated with water. This is more likely to hapen with pipecleaners made for art and craft purposes as they may have a thicker cloth covering than the ones actually made for cleaning pipes.
