Explanation:

According to newtons first law of motion:

'' a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion along a path unless it is acted upon by an external force".

A body in equilibrium that is floating will be stable and not move in any direction. Even if it moves, the motion will be constant wouldn't change.

To move the body in any direction, one has to swim.
Swimming is the application of an external force to counter the balanced forces at equilibrium on a body.
This works when the net external force is greater than that the balanced forces.
