If I’m in a pool, does my weight push down on the bottom if I’m floating?

Question

Is the bottom of the pool supporting the same amount of weight whether or not I’m standing on the bottom or floating on the surface?

Yes.

The water level will rise by the amount of water that has the same weight as you. The bottom of your pool will receive that extra weight the same way as if you added more water.
