No, they don't. As giant covalent substances are non-polar, means having no dipole moment. Only polar or substances having charges like ionic compounds are soluble in water.

Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?
No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.
Can polar covalent molecules dissolve in water?
No
What substance does dissolve?
Sodium can dissolve. Citric acid can also dissolve into water.
Will water dissolve in ionic or covalent compounds?
Water is a liquid and is usually considered to be the solvent. Water dissolves solutes. Many ionic compounds, but not all, are soluble in water. Water has negative and positive areas on the molecule so it is ideally suited to dissolving the negative and positive ions of an ionic substance. Purely covalent compounds, non-polar, are not supported by water so do not dissolve. Purely covalent, non-polar compounds have no negative and positive areas for the water to support.
