Without pics we don't know what you saw. But yes tegus can swim above and below water.

Hi Helas. Welcome to our Tegu forum family. Like bubblz has mentioned it's very hard for us to know what you saw. I don't recommend putting a Tegu into a poop because of the chemicals that are in it. But yes, they are great swimmers. They also can stay under water for a little while.

Here is someones Tegu in the pool:

I know this is not a Tegu. But they swimm like this bearded drogon in the video, too.
