They are great swimmers, but it's hard to say whether it will stress her out more or not. I would try it. Just make sure you run the water before you bring her in...that noise can scare them. Make it a luke warm bath....deep but not so deep she can't stand on the bottom and have her head out. Put her in gently and stay with her...talking softly. Take her out when the water is no longer warm. Don't be alarmed if she puts her head under water and stays there for a little while...they can hold their breath for quite awhile. Sleestack used to do that when he was young...with his eyes open...freaky!
