Yes, some like the water. If you are giving them a bath, make sure the water is luke-warm (they might go into shock from being in cold water). Towel dry and keep them out of a draft. Sometimes guinea pigs will get themselves wet from their water bottle and you don't have to interfere with that. You should never make the guinea pig "swim". It's not swimming, it's trying to get out because it is drowning.
