NEVER LET YOUR HAMSTER SWIM. No matter what you've heard, water is VERY dangerous for hamsters. If they don't drown trying to stay afloat, they will probably catch pneumonia. You do NOT want your hamster to get pneumonia.

You should never put your hamster in water. They are very small animals and they can't regain heat so fast so they can catch pneumonia really easily and die. Besides, wild hamsters live in Eurasia and they are not used to swim.
