Aquatics
an object immersed in a medium is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the volume of the medium displaced. Usually the medium is water, but it could be any liquid or gas. A balloon floats in air because it weighs less than the volume of the air displaces. Your body floats in water because you weigh less than the water you displace. If you truly cannot float, then you weigh more than the water you displace.
Archimedes principle
the upward force of water on a submersed object. See Archimedes’ principle.
