no, so don't put water in your tank that is to deep. It is still important to have drinking water, though, so try putting a sponge in some water instead. yes,they swim but in shallow water,i have a hermit crab and it has a bowl with shallow water in it.My hermit crab goes swimming sometimes,but don't force the hermit crab.

∙ 15y agoNo, it cannot. In fact, if you have the hermit crab submerged in water all the way for long enough, it will drown and die.
