The direction you're looking will determine where you swim to. If you're facing up you will swim to the top of the water if you're facing down you will swim to the bottom, as far as I know character weight doesn't play a role at all.
You have 2 options:
I find its easier to swim in first person view. If you scroll the mouse wheel all the way up to first person then you will swim directly where your camera is facing, if you're looking at the surface you will swim to the surface (side note when exiting water you want to look all the way up to jump out, if the surface is too high you might have to find another point of exit from the water)
In third person view you can use the page up and page down keys to swim up towards the surface or down into the water.
