How your body floats will depend in part on your density (leaner people tend to sink more readily than those with more body fat) and the water's density (heavier, high-salinity water like that in the Dead Sea buoys bodies up). Some humans can float without effort in a near horizontal position.

Why do I keep sinking when I swim?
