If you add salt to water, it becomes a solution of salt and water. That solution is denser than just water. Archimedes' Principle says that if you place an object in a fluid, it will be "buoyed" up by the weight of the fluid that it displaces. If you're an egg, then you will displace an egg volume of the fluid into which I place you. The displaced volume of salt water weighs more than just water, so you float rather than sink.
