The air inside of it.
The air inside of it is lighter than the air in the water but heavier than the air around it. Increase in water temp causes decreased buoyancy and vise versa.

Being placed in water?
Thank you. But, what's weird is that it sinks about 80% of the time (same pond). Granted, the water temp. does vary about 40F between summer and winter.
If you yell "Wilson!" it will float forever.
Aw I cried at that bit.
Being less dense than the water (and you)
magnets?
Only in the northern hemisphere.
Well you play volleyball in the summer not the winter

Mass x gravity is pulling it down. The weight of the water displaced is pushing it up. When those two forces equal each other, the net force is zero and the ball will go neither up or down and will float at the depth it is at.

Why?
The mass is the sum of the ball and the air in it.
