Can Pierre still swim? Does he ever go in the water?

Yes, in fact Pierre just recently replaced his feathers again. He is often seen swimming in the early mornings.

hi i was wondering if they ever swim it seems like all they do is sit htere when are they most active

Absolutely. The penguins will swim as much as four to six hours depending on the bird. The best times to look for swimming activity is early morning, and around feed times.
