Your body fat has a lot to do with how well you will float but basically people can and do float. I personally don't float very well but with air in my lungs and on my back I float easily.

Basically, it's because we are more dense than water. By breathing in air, our density becomes less than that of water and we begin to float. This is how people can stay afloat and how people can drown.

How can people float ontop of water?

It depends on the person, I've always found floating in fresh water to be difficult. But, it is all a matter of density. "Bags of water" won't particularly float. Bones (Calcium), Salt (Sodium Chloride) & other minerals in the body will sink. However, fats & oils will float. The air in the lungs will also float. It is all a matter of overall density. If the average density of the body is greater than 1, it will float.
