Someone floating or sinking has to do with the density of the body. Oils and fats, when mixed with water, begin floating to the surface because their density is less than water. The oposite is true of muscles. Muscle is very dense so it will sink. If someone has more body fat they are more apt to float. If someone has a lot of muscle mass then they are more apt to sink.
