Kangaroos are very strong swimmers. In Australia's southern areas, they frequently commute from off-shore islands. Despite their apparently awkward shape, their powerful hind legs propel them along. However, it is not known how fast they can swim. Given that they can easily swim a kilometre or so, it can be assumed that they are not particularly slow swimmers.

Most species of kangaroos cannot climb trees.

However, there are several species of tree-kangaroo, which are arboreal creatures. Tree kangaroos do not "climb" trees, but they are capable of nimbly leaping up and down into and between the branches, and they spend most of their time in trees. Tree kangaroos are found only in far northern Australia and New Guinea.

The maximum swimming distance of a kangaroo is not known. What is known is that kangaroos are very strong swimmers, and in Australia's southern areas, they frequently commute from off-shore islands which may be a kilometre or two from the mainland.

tree kangaroos are able to swim if necessary, just as other species of kangaroos can swim. However, it is not their preferred activity.

Kangaroos like water to some extent. They actually go for swimming at times when they need to cool down and they are pretty good at it.

Kangaroos are strong swimmers and able to swim several kilometres. Kangaroos have been observed swimming off southern Australia's coastline to reach offshore islands.
