no, so don't put water in your tank that is to deep. It is still important to have drinking water, though, so try putting a sponge in some water instead. yes,they swim but in shallow water,i have a hermit crab and it has a bowl with shallow water in it.My hermit crab goes swimming sometimes,but don't force the hermit crab.

No, they can drown, they have modified gills, which means they can't breath under water, but need humidity. They will also die if they don't have enough humidity.

No, it cannot. In fact, if you have the hermit crab submerged in water all the way for long enough, it will drown and die.
