Yes, Muscovy ducks are known to be excellent swimmers and are commonly found in and around bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, and rivers. They have strong, webbed feet that make them efficient swimmers. Muscovy ducks also have oil glands that help waterproof their feathers, allowing them to stay buoyant while swimming.

Muscovy ducks can and will swim in a lake. If the Muscovy ducks are domesticated you should not allow them on the lake with other ducks because they can get sicknesses from wild ducks and it is illegal.
