Guinea pigs shouldn't swim, never try and make them swim. However, for bathing purposes, you can fill the tub (or whatever you're using) and fill it up to the bottom of the guinea pig's stomach - so the water is just covering it's feet and tiny legs. You must be gentle while washing, especially for the first time, otherwise they'll learn to hate the water.
