Phil hi a lifetime ago I lived on a 50' NB up the Stort. In those days there were lock-keepers and kingfishers. We got a kitten (Captain Cat) which fell in the water & to my astonishment immediately began to swim (doggy paddle?) & was also able to change direction to come towards our rescuing hands.
Cats are good swimmers, metal piling can make it hard or impossible for them to get out though. Even more dangerous in winter but generally they are fine.
