If I know a gun will get wet, I usually lube it more heavily.
Most guns will be fine after a dunking into freshwater and so will the ammo.
Saltwater/brackish would warrant a quick takedown after the event.
The only two times I've gotten a gun wet was my CQB when I went deer hunting and fell into a swamp that was a lot deeper than it looked and another time when I had to cross a river to get back home.
I took the gun apart, cleaned it, and cooked the parts in an oven at 175-200 degrees (the lowest it'll go) for a short time (20-30 minutes) to get in all the nooks and crannies.
