Not all mammals can swim, and many choose not to. Cats, while known to avoid water, can be taught to swim.

Mammals that are not known to swim are gorillas (although not proven unable to do so) and most armadillos (though at least one species can float and paddle). Orangutans, though instinctively not swimmers, can be taught to swim.
