I think is is pretty clear that elves can drown, same as they can starve or die from cold.
Here is another example to prove this:
Voronwë, who guided Tuor to Gondolin, had been sailing in the last ship that Turgon had sent into the West. When the returning ship foundered in a storm,
"Ulmo took him up, alone of all its mariners, and cast him upon the land near Vinyamar."
So all the other elves on the ship must have drowned.
