No, the average cow can swim a bit, but not long term or underwater. They are mammals, breathe with lungs, and are not adapted for aquatic life.

There is another mammal, however, that is. It is called a manatee, and is nicknamed the sea cow. They do not really look like cows, but they are large, gentle, and usually slow moving.

The Greeks had a myth of an animal called ophiotaurus. The front half was a cow, but the back half was a sea serpent.

In more modern fantasy, there are mercows. They are much like merpeople, except the top is a cow instead of a person.
