No. In fact, getting into water is a good way of preventing them from biting.

They live mostly in grass in hot and humid areas. They must have humidity. That's why there are no chiggers in the west...it's too dry. It is easy to make the assumption that chiggers live in water. If you go swimming, then get out and dry off on the grass, the chiggers climb onto your legs from the grass. You could mistakenly believe that they came from the water.
