No, lemurs cannot swing from their tails. The ability to do so is called having a prehensile tail. Only some of the New World monkeys have this trait. No lemurs from Madagascar or monkeys from Africa or Asia can swing from their tails.

How do ring tailed lemurs climb so well?

Some lemurs are arboreal quadrupeds (running and leaping on 4 legs through the trees), while others are vertical clingers and leapers. The Ring-tailed Lemur is a semi-terrestrial quadruped, walking on 4 legs and spending more time on the ground than other lemur species. Some recently extinct forms used to be slow climbers (like modern lorises) and used suspension (like sloths).
