Do all people float?

Your body fat has a lot to do with how well you will float but basically people can and do float. I personally don't float very well but with air in my lungs and on my back I float easily. Basically, it's because we are more dense than water. By breathing in air, our density becomes less than that of water and we begin to float. This is how people can stay afloat and how people can drown.

In what type of water would a swimmer float more easily is it salt water or fresh water?

Saltwater.


Do people float more easily in salt water or fresh water?

An object floats because the amount of water it displaces weighs more than the object floating. If the fluid in which something is floating weighs more than water the object will float higher. When salt disolves in water it makes the water heavier, causing the object to float higher. The floating object can be a boat, a piece of wood or a person, it doesn't really matter. The principles of physics are applied equally.
