There are no native underwater freshwater mammals in Australia. The platypus and native water-rat are both semi-aquatic, meaning they actually live on land, not underwater.
There are, of course, many species of fish. In addition, there are some underwater marine mammals native to Australia (but not necessarily found exclusively in Australian waters), which include:
Then there are the seals - various species such as the Australian Fur seal, Leopard seal, Weddells seal - and the Australian sea lion.

Australia is a continent that is home to a large number of animals. Some of the native animals are Wombats and Kangaroos.
Dolphins, whales, fish, and other marine life.... There are also semi-aquatic animals like frogs and the platypus. ;) Also, tigers and jaguares swim in order to cool off, trap prey, and relax. There are a ton of swimming animals, even most dogs can swim (though some may not like it!).
