By that definition nothing floats Nev. Pretty much everthing has to dislpace
some water to stay on the surface. More than 90% of me is below the surface
when swimming.

Hence the qualifier. I would wager that even a mosquito standing on the
surface tension of a pond is displacing some water even though no part of
the mosquito is below the surface.
