Can Elephants swim?
Like all mammals (except humans and apes, who have to learn how to swim), elephants are very good, untiring swimmers.
Elephants move all four legs to swim and are able to move quite fast like that. Their big body provides enough floatation while the trunk acts like a snorkel.
How do Elephants Swim?
Elephants mostly swim with their face above and their mouth below the water surface. They breathe through their trunk which they use as a snorkel.
Can Elephants Swim Long Distances?
These strong animals can swim long distances without a problem. Experts suppose that elephants once swam from Southern India to Sri Lanka where they settled

They swim incredibly well, That's why they have trunks, so they can use them as a snorkle, but sink if they aren't swimming, why wouldn't they be swimming?

if you feed them beans for dinner, they will probably float....or at least make a lot of noise before sinking
