Why would the shape help you float? Shape has no effect on buoyancy, only density.

#capybara Capybara Fact: Capybaras have a large, barrel-shaped body, which helps them to float in water.

@freemo well shape is a factor in surface tension which lets things denser than water float.

While that is true for a few special circumstances the effect here would 1) be extremely small and 2) would be made worse by having a large central body anyway. A decentralized shape (one with very high surface area) would see effects towards this end, the opposite of what is stated.
