How fast can mammoths swim?

up to 3 feet (1 m) long

How long can mammoths swim?

While there is no evidence of the woolly mammoth swimming, it is safe to assume that it was capable.

Can mammoths outswim a human?

No, mammoths can probably not swim faster than a human. The average human swims about 2mph (maybe even a little faster if you’re in danger), which would likely be enough to outswim this animal.
