Cockroaches can indeed swim, they can also hold their breath for 45 minutes. They breath through holes in their sides which rhythmically absorb air and release CO2, so coming up for air must be pretty hard! Cockroaches can actually perform what could be called "swimming" as they don't simply float on top of the water, but can propel themselves to some extent.
