Why do you float back to the top when you dive under water in your swimming pool?

When you dive underwater in a swimming pool, your body displaces water, creating buoyancy that pushes you back towards the surface. This buoyant force is greater than your weight underwater, causing you to float towards the top when you stop exerting downward force. Additionally, the air in your lungs can also contribute to your buoyancy and push you upward.
