All dogs can swim. Some better than others.
My parents had a cabin at the lake in Alabama. In the summer time it would get toasty warm and when I say cabin at the lake, it had no AC except a small window unit in the bedroom, heat was a fireplace only. So the the place was hot. They would take the dogs with them and they were English Bulldogs. The female would get hot and go walk to the end of the pier and jump off. She was built like a bowling ball. She would sink down and be under for 15 seconds. She would swim slowly back to shore and climb out on the beach. Walk back to the porch and lay down in the shade. About every hour, she would do it again. It freaked out visitors at first. They would come running in and yell "your dog fell off the pier" and hear nothing more than a calm, don't worry, she does it when she is hot. By then they would see her plop down on the porch.
