Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.

Why cant you use water displacement for volume?

Water displacement is not suitable for measuring the volume of irregularly shaped objects as it can be cumbersome and inaccurate. The method requires submerging an object in a water-filled container, which may not work well with objects that are porous, absorbent, or float. Additionally, the process can be messy and impractical for measuring the volume of objects with complex shapes.
