Generally, it is not the weight so much as the amount of fat to lean muscle and bone. The more fat a person has the more buoyant they are. You could a have 300-pound weightlifter who is solid muscle (very dense) and a 300-pound elderly man who has little lean muscle and lots of fat. The elderly man would be more buoyant even though their weight is the same.
