Floaters
Take a sip of water and hold the water in your mouth, add the pill and if it floats to the roof of your mouth your pill is a floater. Make this pill easier to swallow by standing tall and slightly tucking your chin, the pill should go to the roof of your mouth and slightly back. Try to distract yourself and swallow.

Sinkers
Take a sip of water and hold it in your mouth as you add the pill. If the pill sinks to your tongue your pill is a sinker.
