It’s not due to the skin it’s buoyancy. There have been studies…

‘The results indicated similarities in arm span, trunk flexibility, and full inspiration and exhalation of Black and White subjects. However, there were differences in body fat distribution (P ≤ 0.05) and buoyancies (P ≤ 0.01), with Whites storing more fat and having better buoyancy than Blacks. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 9:87-92 © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.’

But that doesn't mean you cannot float.
