Yes, hamsters can swim, however it shouldn't be something that you encourage them to do at all, according to a blog post written by veterinarian Dr. Luqman Javed, hamsters will swim if they have to, but they aren't strong swimmers and can easily drown if they find themselves in a large body of water. 

Hamsters don't need to be bathed either to remain healthy, water baths can actually harm your hamster more than help in some cases.

Hope this helps clarify some things! 😄
