Nope. Call it {'IvtIH} "hip" (revealed at qepHom'a' 2011).

Stationary floating no, but if you're slowly drifting along you can use {vIH} "move, be in motion": *{QIt bIQ ghorDaq jIvIH}. It happen rarely, but Klingons do {Qal} "swim" (TNK) and {HaH'egh} "soak oneself (slang)":
KGT 91: The verb {HaH} [...] is now often used in the more general sense of "soak, drench". It is frequently heard in the reflexive form ({HaH'egh} "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations.
