Best Answer

Chimpanzees of course need water to survive, so they often spend time around lakes, rivers, streams, and puddles of rain water. However, they deplore to swim. There is only one community in Senegal that actually enjoys to wade in a calm body of water, but they keep a one- to two-handed grip on anything that would allow them to pull themselves to safety just in case something goes wrong. Some Chimps show an almost human-like reverence for waterfalls. They don't actually go into the falls, but they perform acrobatics by swinging on branches and vines, all the time within feet of the rushing water.
