I have never had a water issue with a brushless motor! I sunk my lehner 5300 under water and ran a whole pack threw it with no issues. I was using a shultze u-force 75 esc which was under the water too. The connections didnt short out b/c of the high resistance of tap water. Now I wouldnt try saltwater though. I dont see an electric motor having issues under water??????? The windings are sealed. The only worry would be the bearings if you dont clean them afterwords.

I did open the the motor to get the traped water out and sprayed out with wd 40 when I was done. I did this test b/c I just had to prove a point to a few friends!!
Also I wouldnt trust the battery as in my test my battery stayed dry as I didnt want to kill my new(at the time) mached gp3300s
