Western lowland gorillas do spend time voluntarily playing in water in the wild, and are able to swim, albeit poorly.

Gorillas in general don't mainly swim but if they were tempted by food or something that's new to them then they would, but they do not normally swim

Orangutans, though instinctively not swimmers, can be taught to swim.
