Buoyancy in Swimming Pools: Why Are We Lighter in Water?

The buoyant force acting on a person in a swimming pool is equal to the weight of water displaced by the person. Water’s density is around 1000 kg/m3, while the density of the human body is around 985 kg/m3. This means that nearly all of the weight of the person in water is supported by the water, and comparatively less force is required to support them.
