Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.

What Water is frozen into ice?
Any water that freezes is ice. Ice can be clear, murky, or opaque depending on what impurities are in the water before it freezes. The temperature at which water freezes may vary depending on what dissolved or suspended matter it contains,
