Bodies start to float once the gas from decomposition replaced the  water inside the lungs. It is effected by the depth and temperature  or the water. In warm water it can bâ¦e as soon as 1 to 2 days in 80  degree water, or as much as 14 to 20 days in freezing cold water.
Inhale a full breath of air and tuck up into a ball. Most people, on the order of 80-90 percent, will float. If you float in a tuck, you will float on your back, you just need to find your balancing point. If you do not float, it takes very, very little energy to remain at the surface. Slow and lazy egg beater kicks, or small hand sculling is all it takes.
