Why do you float back to the top when you dive under water in your swimming pool?
Hondarebel
Because your body is less dense than the water. More dense bodies go down, in fact you don't float back to the top, the water falls down not leaving room for your body but up to the surface.

How does a wood ball float?
If you've ever seen a plank of wood or even an entire log floating along a river, then you've probably wondered how and why this happens!When something like a log of wood is put into water, it pushes down on the water and the water moves aside to make room for the object. (Think, for example, of how the water in the bathtub moves aside and makes room for you when you step into the tub!) When there is enough water to push back up against the object with the same force as the object is pushing down, then the object will float!That's why a piece of wood that is lightweight for its size will float in a big body of water, like the ocean or a river. However, that same piece of wood might not float in a different smaller body of water, such as your swimming pool or tub!
How would you make something that stays under water for at least twenty seconds then floats back up?
Maybe use the same principal as a submarine. Two water tanks begin to fill themselves with water, and therefore the craft sinks. Then, after your twenty seconds, a pump should begin to remove the water from the water tanks, causing the craft to float back to the surface. If the army have faith in this simple physics then I'm sure we can...
Do humans float on water?
YES!!! Human density is 0.97 of 100 for water. So since we are less dense than water , we will float. Added to which nature gives us a pair of 'water wings' , they are called 'lungs'. Yes!!! you can lie on the surface of water, but because our density is slightly less than watert , most of the human organism will immerse in water, but enough is left above the surface of water, for us to breath.
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.

You can keep afloat a number of ways in deep water. By swimming any of the four key strokes, Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly, or by simply treading water. Also, it is possible to float on your back. If you keep still enough, the buoyancy of the water will prevent you from submerging, especially if you take a breath.
