Yes, elephants can swim. Their large body provide an ability to float while moving their four legs. They can completely submerge down the water and use their trunks like a snorkel. They are pretty good untiring swimmers and can swim from island to island.

They can swim for miles. They can breath through their trunks and they hold them up.
