Portal Stones
They don't have to swim, just fight.
Parallel Universes where they are not pledged to Rand (see Portal Stones above).

Portal Stones
2. Why would you choose a seafaring nation as the vessel for your assault when Shadowspawn are scared of water? Even with the Myrddraal driving them, Demandred doesn't have time to quell his own ranks while fighting the Dragon Reborn.
They don't have to swim, just fight.
3. Where will all these boats come from? The Seafolk have pledged them to Rand and they're busy delivering food.
