Pterodactyls, specifically the pterosaur group, were primarily adapted for flight and not for swimming. While some evidence suggests that certain pterosaur species may have been able to glide over water or potentially float, there is little to support the idea that they were proficient swimmers like modern aquatic birds. Their anatomy, including their wings and body structure, indicates that they were not built for an aquatic lifestyle.
