You only float in water if you are less dense than it. The dead sea has a much higher salt concentration than normal sea, therefore it is more dense. This means the difference in density between you and the water is greater, and so you have more boyancy - you float easier.

∙ 14y agoThe water in the dead sea has a high concentration of salt, so it has a higher density than normal sea water and a much higher density than regular water. With a higher density the upthrust (force upwards) in the water is larger so it can support more weight than other water.

∙ 14y agoBecause the dead sea is full of salt. In water, the higher the selinity, or salt content, the easier it is to float in. Thus it is easier to swim as you don't have to put in so much energy to stay afloat. This is why it is easier to swim in the sea, on average. Obviously, if you were swimming in a landward direction while the tide was going out, it would be slightly more difficult.

∙ 12y agobecause it has a LOT of salt which makes the water too heavy to swim in so therefore you can float

It is easier to float, in any case, because salt water has a greater density.
Why is it easier to swim in sea water then in fresh water?
Because there is salt in sea water and salt makes you float better so is easier to swim.
What seas are easiest to swim in?
The higher the salinity of the water the easier it is to float - the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Great Salt Lake.
Is it easier to float in salt water than chlorinated water?
yes, i heard that the dead sea has so much salt in it you cant really swim you just float
Why is it easier to swim in seawater then it is to swim in fresh water?
probally fresh because no salt in mouth or eyes addition: it is easier to float/swim in seawater since seawater is denser than fresh water.

Why it is easier to swim in sea water as compared to fresh water?
You are more buoyant in salt water than in fresh water, so it takes less energy just to stay afloat, making it easier to swim.
Why do you sink in the water but ships do not?
Because normally when ships sail they start in a harbour near the sea. The sea is filled with salt witch allows it to float much easier when people swim the swim in a pool or river with no salt in it. I think.
