Common pet gerbils are the Mongolian gerbil. Since they live in Mongolia, they are semi-desert animals. They don't see pools of water often. I have never seen one swim or drown, but from what I've seen they definitely don't like it but can do their best at swimming. They will try to get out as soon as possible. Do NOT put a gerbil in a pool of water. It would be quite mean.
