She doesn't like soaking

Hi, I have just got a tortoise from my in-laws which they found. I think it is a horsefield tortoise as it has four claws on each foot and it fits the other descriptions for this species. I bathed it yesterday and it tried to climb out of the sink, I think it doesn't like water, or is it just not used to it? My in laws took it to the pet shop and they said it was a girl, how can I tell?

Thanks, Laurie.
