can bearded dragons swim?, for example, if i were to fill up my bath tub full of water and throw my beardie in, would he drown or swim?, do they like water or terrified? is it good for ur beardie to go in water? or bad? considering its a desert lizard

Yes, beardies can swim like little crocs BUT, NEVER put them in water that is higher then their shoulders. Just because they can swim doesn't mean they can hold their head above water for any length of time.
When they are afraid in the water, they gulp air and blow their bodies up in an attempt to float.
