Answer:

True.

Explanation:

He is correct but what he does not tell is that you will be drown. Your life preserver will submerge and displace more water than those of your friends who float at the surface. Although buoyant force on you will be greater , the net downward force on you will still be greater. Hence you will be drown inside the water.
