Why it is easier to stay afloat when on a beach than when in swimming pool?

Because sand is denser than water. But I suspect you meant to ask "why is it easier to stay afloat in seawater than it is in fresh water". In which case the answer is the same: seawater is denser ... but not as dramatically, and the difference is small enough that you're unlikely to actually notice it unless you take careful measurements.

Can you take sea water and drink it?

On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram, or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, drinking seawater to maintain hydration is counterproductive; more water must be excreted to eliminate the salt (via urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself. The effect of seawater intake has also been studied in laboratory settings in rats.This study confirmed the negative effects of drinking seawater when dehydrated.

How do you convert conductivity to resistivity?

Oh, dude, it's like this: to convert conductivity to resistivity, you just take the reciprocal of the conductivity value. So, resistivity is equal to 1 divided by conductivity. It's like flipping a coin, but with numbers. Easy peasy, right?
