How did a large snail get into the toilet bowl?

There was a large brownish lump on the side of the toilet bowl at water level. I was about to accuse dh of not flushing properly, when I realised it was actually a large garden snail! How on earth did it get there? Did it swim up the drain from outside? I didn’t realise snails could swim. It’s now been flushed back down with the help of the toilet brush. Will it be back I wonder.

I've long been convinced that slugs and snails can abseil. And that (like Looby Loo) they do this only when no-one is looking...

I’ve showered with a small pretty frog in the Philippines. My brother lives there and often has a frog visitor in his bathroom. Frog doesn’t seem to mind soap or shampoo either so tends to be left there until he disappears the way he’s come

Snails are good mountain climbers, judged by the one outside our upstairs windows.
Hedgehogs and frogs seem to find them tasty
