Bummer. Any chance you can try the old rice trick?

Not only a myth, but the rice-dust gets in the ports and clogs them up.

With a computer, I might suggest opening it up to swab out the water and then leave it open to dry out for a week.

iPads can't safely be opened. Leave it in a safe dry spot where you're not tempted to touch it for at least a couple of weeks and then see if it will power-on.
