I caught one possibly a snapping turtle trying to cross the road today and took it to the woods behind my house.
All turtles can swim. Even box turtles soak in water from time to time.
No, not all turtles swim. The Snapping turtle you found is not a swimmer, but rather walks along the bottom. Some other turtles also do this. The Box turtles are terrestrial and neither swim nor walk along the bottom, they live in the margins of ponds and lakes and on other such wetlands. All Tortoises are terrestrial and do not swim.
all turtles can swim. some turtles swim much better than others.
