My father has two Dachs - Dolly jumps in the lack and swims after ducks. Oscar will swim but he would rather stay on the dock! I think, just like any learned behavior, it takes practice!
Do Daschunds Like Water?
All dogs need water to maintain hydration.
I assume you are asking if Dachshunds like to swim or tolerate bathing well. Dachshunds do not typically love to swim the way Golden Retrievers do; they should tolerate baths with no problems. Short haired Dachshunds can become cold quickly so use warm water for bathing and dry them thoroughly. Swimming tendancy may vary among Dachshunds and it may be an activity your dog enjoys.

It will most likely vary between the dogs personalities. These dogs were bred for hunting badgers. So, it could be either or on water. Agreeing with the DVM at the top of comments, I've bathed plenty of dachshunds, so def. Towel dry very thoroughly even a low setting on the hair dryer would be good for them.
Those dogs were originally bred to hunt burrowing animals, I think. So no- I'd say.
