Default Is anyone growing near a swamp?

Hey from south Georgia,

We own a property that has a 1.4 acre swamp on it. The water level during the rainy season is right at 18" - inches not feet, just dig a hole and it fills with water.
My question:
Will the bananas love it or hate it?
Soil is sandy, some blue clay, peat. Oh yeah and my horses add some horsey manure daily.

Okay, will the roots rot or grow like crazy?
