It depends on the species. Lily Pads have a flat surface area which allows them to float on the surface like a boat as well as having stems that keep growing until they reach the surface and then stop growing. With many Kelp species, they have "float sacs" filled with air which allow them to stay afloat.

Still water has a characteristic of developing a very thin film over the top of it, tending to slightly resist penetration. But when water is actively moving, this tendency is disrupted.
