Undead mobs don't swim up in water
When zombies are in water they don’t swim to the surface like other mobs and they get stuck there. I know they can turn into a drowned but this is not intended because zombies are meant to swim.

Zombies don't swim up in water

This is intended as far as i know, they now sink and after a certain amount of time become Drowneds.

If you keep a Zombie Villager in the water, they don't turn into Drowned. They also act like normal zombies did before this update. They bob in the water and chase and attack villagers (night and day).
However normal Zombies now act like Drowned. They walk on the bottom of the water instead of bobbing and they are super slow (MC-127248). They will chase villagers and will attack them and turn them into Zombie Villagers, unlike Drowned who won't actually attack villagers unless it is night (MC-127247 & MC-127294).

I believe with the new mechanic of becoming Drowneds they are no longer meant to swim.
Normal Zombies are also super slow in water now, because they don't bob in the water they just walk on the bottom.
I think they still should swim because husks can still swim so why can't they.
Well this change ruins skeletons, as shown in Phoenix SC's video
