A full length mail hauberk with a coif over the head and mail chausses on the legs worn by a knight in the Twelfth or Thirteenth Centuries would have come in at around 16 kilos or 35 lbs
Would extra 16kg stop you from swimming?
Wrong question. The human body is near neutrally buoyant when naked. Armour is not. So it's not just extra 16kg.
Average density of human body = 985 kg/m^3, 945 average maximum with full lungs. Density of water is 1000. Density of armour would be around 6000-8000 (mostly steel, some cloth, some leather).
So 16 kg of armour, if we assume that the average weight of a medieval soldier was around 75kg-80kg, would increase total density of the soldier to about 2000-2600 kg/m^3. This would make him sink like a rock. Literally. Density of rocks is about 2000-2600.
