  Anybody here can float on water? I mean floating when your body is not in motion..

   

  I just found out a while ago while swimming that i could float on water when i held my breath. I even attempted to pretend to be dead...

  My lungs are my ballast tanks.

  Only difference is I cannot achieve positive buoyancy underwater once I release my air.

  Actually during my time when I took my swimming test to clear myself to be deployed on ship, one of the requirement involved swimming 150m, then treading water for 5 min, then making a float with your coveralls.

  I chose not to tread, floating around. Some guys failed because they treaded and treaded....and treaded.....and then sank like titanic.

  According to archimedes principle your body must occupy such a big volume such that it displaces a significant weight of water to generate an upthrust which is greater than your weight or in other words
