snakes are legless amphibians?

Snakes don't have legs and do swim. I've seen grass snakes swimming in
the Thames.

But they're not apmhibians.

form

You are right, I didn't know amphibians had to breed in water.

Amphibians are a group which are thought to have descended from a common
ancestor, and therefore one amphibian is more closely related to another
amphibian than it is to members of other evolutionary groups like
reptiles or mammals
