NO! They cannot get wet!!!

Well okay, if avoidable, do NOT let, or try to get, your chinchilla to swim. If it ever occurs that your chinchilla jumps into a pond or something (like mine did) they will probably survive. My chinchilla was outside and he ran into the pond, it is about half a meter wide and being the smart chinchilla he was he 'swam' to the other side, as in; he kept his head above the water and got safely to the other side. He gave us all a heart attack and was soaking wet, but he survived. If wet and not tended to immediately, a swim could be fatal. Your chinchilla can get a chill or worse.

SO NO! DON'T TRY IT! They DO take dust baths (no, not with actual dust, stuff you buy at a pet store...)

No, chinchillas are not able to swim. Their dense fur can become waterlogged and weigh them down, making it difficult for them to stay afloat. Swimming can pose a serious danger to chinchillas and should be avoided.
