They can't. They're top-heavy. But don't fret, people make Corgi life-jackets.
Drew, inked, and colored sometime in the last hour.

I had a pet corgi as a kid, and we loved each other all to pieces. It's a crying shame that I was allergic to her.
Anyway, on to the fun part: Maybe it was just a way of coping with Texas heat in the summer, but Cuddles (my corgi) LOVED the water. Sitting in sprinkler spray, napping in the damp spot we kept ready with a trickle hose, or in the kiddie pool, she didn't care! If it was cool and wet, she was all over it. This led to a few incidents of hilarity, when we'd find her standing with just her head or nose sticking out. The one time I took her to the aptly-named Lakeside Park in my hometown, she made a bee-line for the lake. Trees, kids, toys, and coming back when I called her all took second priority to getting into the water RIGHT AWAY. Negative buoyancy ended up with a lot of bouncing around in the shallows as she popped up and then sank down in a diagonal doggy-paddle.
Other point: Corgis aren't just top-heavy, they're dense. Reasonably fit corgis are surprisingly heavy for their size, like grabbing onto an affectionate furry brick. There just isn't enough leg there to keep them afloat!
Yet another point: I'm pretty sure that Corgis have their own special sub-clause in the laws of physics. I STILL don't know how something with legs that tiny can move so dang fast and corner so well.
Oh, swell...my muse just thwacked me upside the head: Corgi superhero, anybody? Dense, heightened speed speed and agility, but has issues with open water. Then again, there's always the "Ein" route (you know, from Cowboy Bebop?) : adorably cuddly super-genius!
Sorry for the corgi-gush. I'm just nuts for the little things, even if I have to wash up after playing with them.
