This is over a year later, but here\'s my uninformed opinion anyway. When it comes to life forms, density is tricky because it varies a lot within a single body. Creatures with lots of fat and little muscle may float where one with the same total weight would sink; it\'s all a matter of comparing your volume with the weight of an equivalent volume of water.

When it comes to swimming, that\\\'s another matter altogether, because you are actively \\\"cancelling out\\\" your density with the force of movement, so you just have to be stronger the more \\\"dense\\\" you are (in terms of your body\\\'s average density). Since additional density often comes \\\'\\\'from\\\'\\\' muscles, it can thus cancel itself out.
