That isn't the case, waters maximum density is at 4 degrees C, either side of that it is less dense. Think about the hydrogen bonds that are involved and what they do to the shape of the solid crystal and the bonds involved in the liquid. It is these bonds that also give water a higher than expected boiling point.
