Painted Turtles are semi aquatic. They are happy to swim, but they also need to come out of the water to bask under UVA/UVB light and completely dry off.
Because they do not have saliva, they also need water to eat in or they won't be able to swallow their food.
If you need a basking platform for your turtles to bask on, you can head over to a local pet store and find one or check out an online store for a discounted price.
