Hey user!
Sorry your question is incorrect. Calcium sinks in water. I'll give the reason for that.
Calcium has a density of 1.54 g/cc which is more as compared to the density of water which is 1.0 g/cc which is why it sinks in water.
When calcium reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide and hydrogen.
The balanced chemical reaction will be as follows:
Ca + 2H20 ---> Ca(OH)2 + H2
I hope your question is answered.
Goodbye!
Have a nice day! :)

Calcium floats on the surface of water because it is less denser than water. Equation-
Ca + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2
Ca + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2
