Any air breathing mammal can drown, regardless of how good they can swim.
IMO, a better way to help with shed problems is to put a moist hide in the bin/cage. Get a deli cup, or plastic container big enough for your snake, with a lid, if possible, & put either damp paper towels or damp moss in & put it in their cage/bin.
Also, it's not recommended to give snakes baths right after feeding, much like being handled after feeding, can potentially cause a regurge. Best to leave them alone for at least 48hours & let them digest their food, undisturbed.
As far as trying to get a snake to eat, do not try again for at least 5 days, you could stress them out & cause them to go off food longer.
