Open bearings might survive better than sealed ones. The water can run out as easily as it runs in. With seals, the pressure of the water when submerged (2 feet under water = 1psi water pressure) pushes water past the seal, but when back on dry land there is no pressure to force it back out so the seal locks it in there.
