Today once I got up I turned in the light for my snakes and my normal was completely in his water bowl as if going for a swim or having a bath. He's okay but I was wonderin if this is normal?

I was always told to have a water bowl big enough for them to bathe if they wanted to, never seen him in it though! I gave him a bath last year though when he hadn't pooped properly like in my signature pics!
Think it's perfectly normal

More snake species do it than you'd think - they obviously love the water!!

Nimbus likes to bathe a few days before he sheds.

I remember seeing him in his water bowl in the pet shop and he looked so funny coiled up in it!

I find that hatchlings like to sit in the water, usually just after I've changed their kitchen roll so it soaks the box out! :D
