Salt increases the density of water, thus makes it easier to float.
I've always had troubles floating while swimming in fresh water, but the difference when swimming in the sea is quite noticeable.
There are many notes of people doing experiments with floating eggs with salt water versus fresh water.

Demonstrate how to would separate salt from a muddy water?
Muddy water and salt solution contains, quite obviously, water, salt and mud. Due to the fact that the salt molecule is polar, it dissolves in water. [Note: The higher the temperature of the water, the more salt can be dissolved in it]. So we essentially have salt dissolved in water and mud suspended (and/or floating/sinking) in a beaker. Stir up the solution to make the mud/water mix homogenous (also for complete separation). Pour the mix through a filter+funnel set up. Notice how the water flows straight through, but the mud is retained in the fileter paper. Now you have a salt water solution. Heat the mixture until the water is boiling. This causes the water molecule to evapourate, thus leaving the salt behind.
If you had an object with a density of 1.12gcm cubed would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35gcm cubed?
Sinking or floating also depends on the density of the object
Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.
What are some abiotic factors that affect puffer fish?
The amount of salt and oxygen in the water, light, and water murkiness.
Does the temperature of water affect how rapidly salt will dissolve?
the hottter the temperature the faster salt dissolves
What can affect an object floating?
Salt in the water
Does salt water float or sink in water?
Salt water gets diluted as it mixes with water. So no chance of floating or sinking.
Why does sinking and floating happen?
It happens because if you put a certain amount of salt in a cup with water the more salt you put in the more things you put in will float.
Who invented an egg floating in salt water?
woetso jigdak invented an egg floating in salt water.
How does salt water effect floating?
The salt water has a greater density and the floating is easier.
How does salt affer floating?
Adding salt to water the density is increased.
What factor accounts for the differences of egg floating on salt water and does not float on ordinary water?
Density of salt water.
How do you analyze your observation on egg floating in salt water?
no
Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?
The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.
What is the conclusion about a egg floating better in salt water?
gtgtg
Does water mixed with salt affect the taste?
Water mixed with salt does not affect the taste,bt it also depend on the amount of water mixed with the salt and the quantity of salt mixed with the water
When the egg floating in the saltwater are they related in physics?
Floating is a physical process. Generally the density of egg is slightly more than that of pure water. When a salt is dissolved in water its density is increased defending on the concentration of the salt in the water. Since the density of salt solution is more egg floats in salt solution.
