Remember, as far as we know, Gerard didn't know about Matt's fear of drowning. All he knew was that the kanima feared water and that his master probably shared the fear. As far as he knows, Matt only feared water the way that some people fear spiders or heights. He couldn't have known it was a paralyzing trauma, so although I hate Gerard as much as anyone, I don't think he was intentionally being cruel (this time at least).
