Yes, they just don't like it.
Bobcats can swim quite well. The bobcat is an adaptable animal. It prefers woodlands-deciduous, coniferous, or mixed-but unlike the other Lynx species it does not depend exclusively on the deep forest. It ranges from the humid swamps of Florida to desert lands of Texas or rugged mountain areas. Where the habitat is fairly dry, it doesn't need to swim, but where the habitat has a lot of water - like swamps or river areas, it will swim to get where it needs to be or to hunt. It mostly preys on land animals however, rather than fish or other aquatic animals.
