Swimming in the Dead Sea is supposed to be quite the experience. Extreme buoyancy.
When I was a kid we went to Salt Lake in Utah. I remember having to wade out a good distance to get in deeper water but once in it you could float really easy. I'm sure the salt content in the lake is much higher than in the oceans.
