Probably easiest to just homebrew a new familiar ability that only gives a swim speed.
It would be strictly worse than the already existing Amphibious ability, so there is no risk that it is going to be too powerful.

So, a character wants an otter as her familiar. Otters are playful, fun-loving swimmers. However, they can NOT breathe underwater.
The familiar ability "amphibious" would be mostly correct for an otter, EXCEPT for the part about breathing underwater.
I can not find any other familiar ability that would be more appropriate. (I've been using the Archives of Nethys for 2nd edition.)
Please advise.
Thanks!

Amphibious is the closest you're going to find. As a familiar, it's not hard to imagine familiars getting a little boost, like breathing underwater instead of being able to hold their breath like IRL. Familiars can take magical abilities like Levitator, so breathing water seems fine.

Lol They also have Gills, which just lets you breath underwater. Who picks that when you can take Amphibious?

Exactly. Who indeed?
