Why is it easier to swim in sea water than in the river water?

Answer Posted / shantanu

Archimedes principle, the weight of water displaced by any
body equals the weight of the floating body. In sea water,
as density is more, less volume of water has to be displaced
for a swimmer to float. Hence, it is easier to swim.
