Every APBT ive introduced to swimming either A) Enjoys it without problems, B) Wants nothing to do with it.
Ive never noticed much of an issue if they enjoy swimming other then the first few times they can be clumsy, LOL. One of my apbt jumped off a dock cause she seen some ducks...soon as she hit the water she was racing back to shore...She didn't know what to think other then she was wet (she was acting like a cat almost)...after she realized she was fine she found much enjoyment out of swimming and started retrieving aswell.
Ive also had another apbt who would just stay in the shallow part by shore, and she got a wild hair up her butt and leaped not realizing where she leaped she couldn't touch the ground and she freaked out so I had to reel her into shore. Ever since she wouldn't go into the water.
I always keep a long line on the dogs when there swimming so I have control incase of anything.
But APBT ive had who enjoy swimming, have been great swimmers. And its a very good work out for them that doesn't strain there joints unlike running them etc.
