Question

The dead sea has a very high salt content. Explain why it is easier for a swimmer to float in the dead sea than in a swimming pool containing fresh water

Answer 1

Dead sea is full of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The water of the Dead Sea is full of salt, which makes it much denser and heavier than freshwater. If you swim in it, you float very easily.

When salt is dissolved in water, for example sea water, dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt. Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water.
