Agreed, except for one case - presuming the zombies have been dead for a while, expanding gases combined with the natural buoyancy of the human body would make them float pretty easily. So, while zombies may not be able to swim, it'd be possible to get stuck in a small/narrow body of water while zombies just rush into the water, floating in from the shore like decomposing buoys. That thought just creeps me out.
I think I'd much rather take my chances going up a steep hill with a MTB, unless I had an ocean or large lake to swim across.
