Garden snails need water for sure! Or else the poor things will dry up. Though they will shrink into their shells for protection, they can't do that forever. Sooner or later, they would starve to death if they don't dry to death. But garden snails cannot literally swim in water, so I don't suggest to put garden snails in large quantities of water.
