I assumed the OC meant the person was floating in the water, so buoyant forces keep it at the top. When you accelerate, the person's weight increases, but the buoyant force increases exactly the same amount, so everything would stay where it was.
If it were a penny, then you are right - it would already be on the bottom and would stay there.
