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.

Will Sucrose float in water?
Yes, As you dissolve the sugar into the water the volume of the water will stay the same (once the sugar has gone into solution) but the density of the water/sugar solution will have increased (there is more mass in the same volume). Thus, because when you float something it displaces a volume of liquid equal to its mass/weight, in a sugar solution the floating body will float higher because its mass/weight will be compensated for by a smaller volume of liquid.
