i ended up flooding my entire fort for various "reasons" 

and i noticed at the bottom of my pit/arena that the goblins and dogs i had caged are doing just fine, even though they're under about 6 z levels of water. they don't even have a drowning status there just completely unaffected

Yeah, this is a longstanding issue.  It's a little cheesy.  I think if they are in magmasafe cages, they stay alive under magma as well, but I'm not sure on that.

Anyway, to drown caged thingers, you need to rig a lever to open the cage once they are under.

As another note, if you put goblins in a terrarium, then have the dwarves fill it with water to make an aquarium, the goblins don't drown then either.
