Yes they can swim, before letting them swim in deep areas let them take a go in the bath tub first for safety, but make sure the waters shallow so it doesn't drown or you could put pebbles in the tub so if they are they can step up on something:) Cheeres

How does the mother duck care for her baby ducks?
A mother duck takes care of her ducklings pretty much the way a mom takes care of her children. But unlike human moms, duck moms don't have to teach their ducklings how to eat, or to swim, or to preen, they are born knowing how to do that from birth. She does however, have to keep a very, very good eye on them. Ducklings are tremendously curious and get lost easily in a big pond. I have seen mother ducks search for their lost child and then scold, yes scold, them quite angrily to stay with the brood.

How do you teach ducklings to swim?
We had some ducks that came when we called 'dill, dill, dill, dill, dill'. When you feed the ducks call them 'duck duck duck duck' or whatever you want and soon they will associate the calling with food and come whenever you call. It is good to give them some food when you call them, just to keep up that association.
