Depending on the coverstock of the Bowling ball it will. It wont really affect a plastic ball, but if you have a reactive resin (which is designed deliberately to absorb oil) it may absorb SLIGHT amounts of water as well. Depending on the temperature, it may expand or contract as well. No real DAMAGE will be done though. In fact, one method for deep cleaning your equipment is to let it soak in mildly warm soapy water for an hour or two.

The weight of the ball is less than the weight of an equivalent volume of water...which is why anything floats.
