No, a raccoon would quickly drown under water. They must have air to breath.
If you mean do they dive under water to search for food, the answer is no. However, they will wade in shallow water and use their nimble fingers to search for food under water - crayfish, crabs, clams, snails, etc.
Raccoons generally live near a permanent water source - a pond, lake, stream or river.
Raccoons do not live in water. They may, however, live near fresh water or salt water or brackish water.
Raccoons by nature are a dirty animal, and live in dirty water, as they eat anything found in the gutters; they also take baths in it. Raccoons are unusual because they have no salivary glands. They must live near water to wash and wet food for eating. The water moistens the food, and replaces the missing saliva.
raccoons live near streams, or rivers and lots of trees bushes, and usually have dens in weird places like under decks.
Raccoons do not live in water, they are not found on high mountains, they are not found in areas that are extremely cold and receive a lot of snow in winter, such as northerly taiga and tundra. They do live in deserts if there is a source of water nearby, such as a stream or spring.
Raccoons main senses are touch and smell. Their sense of touch is greater under water and since they rely heavily on their sense of touch, they prefer to feel the food under the water. They often dip their food in water. They do, however, produce saliva - although it is a popular wives tale that raccoons do not produce saliva - that is incorrect.
