Default fried esc or motors? help!

Ok I am a complete noob at electrics so i need some help. I recently bought and flew a GuanLi Catalina (brushless version RTF, which i must say get 5 stars for overall good build and quality) and landed hard on my pond due to pilot error, and some water got in the esc's and motors. one motor worked thereafter, after drying out the other it ran up all the way to. but out of the blue they stopped working and recieve no input from throttle, all they do is sit there beeping once every 5 seconds. The lipo is charged all the way and every servo works, but no motors... what am i doing wrong or what is wrong, please help!

Have you tried holding low throttle for ten seconds, then going to high throttle (Hold there for a few seconds) and back to low throttle?

That is often how an ESC is "Armed" before it turns the motors
