All monkeys can swim. The wild cynomolgus macaques may play by dropping out of trees into the water. Thanks.

Monkeys usually avoid water but they can swim if the situation calls for just like if they are avoiding a predator.

About Monkeys
Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Monkeys range in size from the Pygmy Marmoset, at 5-6 inches long and 4-5 ounces in weight, to the male Mandrill, almost 3.3 feet long and weighing 77 pounds. Some live in trees while others live on the savanna. Diets differ among the various species but may contain any of the following: fruit, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, eggs and small animals.
