That sounds normal. Turtles can adjust their buoyancy and they do like to float at the surface. I walk by a pond daily with my dog that's filled with turtles, and you can see them poking their heads out, just floating, all over the pond.
If your turtle is floating, with its limbs and head hanging down, that's bad. If it's angled up, occasionally poking it's head out and swimming, it's a happy turtle!
