My dwarves used to be able to swim back out after a bit of drowning. However, i tested it upon the no_breathe tag, and in about a couple seconds of it, they swam back out. For adventure modes with no_breathe, i had to PUSH them out of the water to keep them from drowning. Alt+Move when someone is in the way when you move makes them move to your previous location and you go in. Assuming enough, there most likely will be an ability for other dwarves to drag them out of the water, to prevent other dwarves from drowning.

Intentional? I mean you told them to kill something in water.

Then again, the dwarves should have common sense not to jump into some water without knowing how to swim.

Doesn't need to be a kill order. Just activated a squad to deal with a rhesus macqaw swarm, and two (of seven) dwarves drowned pursuing them into the river.
