How fast can hippos swim?

Adult hippos can't swim. This may seem odd since they do spend a lot of time in the water. They hold their breath well and are adapted in many ways for semiaquatic life. But they can't swim. In fact adult hippos can't even float, probably because they're too dense, and although they look fat, their percentage of fat is low.

Why can't hippos float in water?

Given their size, one might say hippos can't float because hippos seem too heavy to swim. One would be wrong. The hippo's fat makes it buoyant so it can float very well. On the other hand Hippos do not really swim. Their method of travel is very simple: they walk, or bound, if underwater.
