No its not a good idea to bath your hamster. Its a misconception that hamsters can swim when actually they can't they are just struggling. They can also catch a cold on top of this, and they really don't need to be bathed.

∙ 13y agoYou actually don't, but if you really need to them I would wash them... Here are some tips that will help you when washing a hamster:
Put your hamster in the sink, put on the plug, and start to pour Warm water until it gets to his/her tummy. Use a tiny bit of baby shampoo, but don't let it get into their eyes, just their back. When you are finished wrap him up with a towel, and if you don't the hamster might get really cold and stressed and could simply die :(

What to groom a hamster with?
You shouldn't need to groom a hamster, because they clean themselves very well, but if you want to help them with an extra cleaning, use a toothbrush to remove the extra bits of hair and you can also buy suitable grooming brushes from any pet shops, and you can buy grooming wipes, which keep away the smell of some hamsters. Long haired male Syrian Hamsters need a little more grooming to get rid of bulks of hair, and to reduce matting of fur. But do not bathe your hamster, as they don't like water!
