1 word my friend,"FUBAR"!!You need insurance for things like that.Next time something like that happens,remove the battery and shake the excess water from the phone,then immediately blow dry it for about 1 minute,then drop it in a bag of rice for a day,it will soak up all the moisture in the phone.

can you use adb to boot into recovery and flash something from there?

Or are you on stock recovery?

Adb stands for Android debug bridge. It comes with SDK Manager. Download SDK Manager and type in adb reboot recovery in cmd. That will get you to recovery mode on your phone. You might have to go to the sd card folder on the computer and right click while holding shift and click "open command window here".

Here's a good overview on adb and how to set it up.

It REALLY helps during boot loops because you can replace system files or get into recovery or do other things if you are rooted with just a few commands.

Did you have android debugging enabled before this happened? If your computer can't install the drivers and you can't see it in the list of devices after adb then you may have not had android usb debugging enabled under development options.
