No, the average cow can swim a bit, but not long term or underwater. They are mammals, breathe with lungs, and are not adapted for aquatic life.
There is another mammal, however, that is. It is called a manatee, and is nicknamed the sea cow. They do not really look like cows, but they are large, gentle, and usually slow moving.
The Greeks had a myth of an animal called ophiotaurus. The front half was a cow, but the back half was a sea serpent.
In more modern fantasy, there are mercows. They are much like merpeople, except the top is a cow instead of a person.

Fish breathe underwater using their gills. As water passes over their gills, oxygen is absorbed from the water and carbon dioxide is released. This process allows fish to extract oxygen from the water and breathe efficiently.
How does a Tortoise breathe?
Tortoises have lungs and breathe air just like other animals. They expand and contract their lungs by moving their muscles to inhale and exhale. Tortoises can also absorb oxygen through their skin and the lining of their mouth when they are underwater or in low-oxygen environments.
