rescuing ants in soap and in water

i sometimes find ants that have become stuck in soap water or plain water, which appear dead, however I have also heard that ants survive underwater for long periods of time

is their any way i could remove the soap from them, would this help? and if just water, is there anything i could do there

related question, what is the best way to repel ants nonlethally?
