Not all snakes do, but some do. For example, the sea snake swims, along with the green anaconda. But, the green boa doesn't.

No, not all reptiles can swim. While some reptiles, like turtles and crocodiles, are adept swimmers, others, such as snakes and some lizards, are not well-suited for swimming due to their body structure and lack of specialized adaptations for aquatic locomotion.
