∙ 12y agoIt is due to the fact that ponds are fresh water and the ocean is salt water. The high salt content causes you to float more easily as opposed to fresh water where you sink more readily. The Red Sea is a good example it has such a high salt content that you can almost float on the surface with little effort.

Why it is easier to stay afloat when on a beach than when in swimming pool?
Because sand is denser than water. But I suspect you meant to ask "why is it easier to stay afloat in seawater than it is in fresh water". In which case the answer is the same: seawater is denser ... but not as dramatically, and the difference is small enough that you're unlikely to actually notice it unless you take careful measurements.

A zero-depth swimming pool, also called a beach entry swimming pool, is a swimming pool having an edge or entry that gradually slopes from the deck into the water, becoming deeper with each step, in the manner of a natural beach.
