The downward force of gravity is counterbalanced by the upward buoyant force of the water, resulting in a net decrease of the body's weight. The buoyant force comes from the water that is displaced by the body (think of water rising in the tub when you get in). That displaced water tries to get back to its own (previous) level, so it pushes back on the body.
