It's best to have deep enough water pools for them to bathe themselves because bathing stresses them out, and you will mess up the natural balance of water they keep in their shells. They carefully calibrate the salt content of the water in their shells and bathing them will ruin this. That's why it's best to have a deep (but escapable) pools for fresh and salt water.
But if you have to bathe your crabs, get a tub of dechlorinated water that is warm (not hot!), put your crab in there upsidedown so that water goes in their shell, and then bring them out and tip them so that the water runs out of their shell. Do this a couple times. Then put them in box or container with a towel and wait for them to dry off before putting them back in the tank.
