Sacred Blue! Those are heroes of the Revolution! Of course they can swim, it has been decreed by the Central Committee! Of course, as washing and bathing is a counterrevolutionary act, they will doubtless all get shot/reeducated if when they arrive on the riverbank.

I suppose the Nobles will quietly roll up their liberty caps and put them in their pockets...just in case.
