Actualy, some species of box turtles, such as the three-toed box turtle are quite fond of water and like to swim regularly. The should be given a pool of water the is deep enough for them to get a good swim and they should be able to get into and our of it easily. The water must be kept clean as it can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Tap water is fine to use. Turtles are not fish, so the levels of chlorine in the water in their swimming pool would not be high enough to harm them.

Yes they do. They always need to have access to a small pool of water in their

living environment. It's also good to have them soak daily in warm water

Sea turtles live in water. Most pet turtles are land turtles and will spend time in and around water, but not live in it.
