The Slig species is swamp-dwelling creatures naturally, so it makes sense that they can swim. However, since the only time you can get them in water in MO is when they're weighed down by the mass of their mechanical pants, then it's no indication that they can't swim. Of course, it may also be that modern Sligs simply aren't trained how to swim, and so have lost that ability.
If you want to know why the Sligs drops out of his pants, there are several other topics about this in General Discussion. Just use the search facility.
