Well condensed phases, solid, and liquids, have more or less constant density...
Explanation:
...whereas a GAS will uniformly fill whatever volume is available to it.
There is a marginal volume change when water melts...
And unusually liquid water is MARGINALLY MORE dense than ICE...and this is why ice-bergs float.
There is a MASSIVE volume change when water boils...
