Giraffes can swim, at least hypothetically, although they would perform poorly in comparison to other mammals. There are theoretical studies of this, such as Henderson and Nash's "Predicting the buoyancy, equilibrium and potential swimming ability of giraffes by computational analysis" scientific paper. They conclude that "a full-sized, adult giraffe will become buoyant in water deeper than 2.8m".
