Apple Store does refurbs with turn in for $270ish. Or take it to a repair shop that does free diagnostics, might be salvageable. Toilets, sinks, and beer hasn't stopped my old 3GS from working.

I just tossed my 5 in an alcohol bath to see if I can revive it. It was already F'd so no loss. Apple said they could give me a 5 in exchange for my old one and 239$

People swear by throwing you're phone in a bag of rice.
I would recommend going to home depot and getting a hold of unscented damprid and placing it in a sealed container with your phone. It's a desiccant that will pull moisture out of anything.

fyi a quick tip for some of us looking to trade old phones at Apple store... the 1st thing those Apple geniuses look for when inspecting phones is water damage indicators built into the phone, if indicators are on then trade in value is probably not gonna be good (they wouldn't take mine last time), so check those first and save yourself a trip.
if you are lucky and indicator is not active (or the phone bath was so brief that nothing got in), then also check the power/sync connection area if there is discoloration or hints/hues of green, that happens when the metal parts come into contact with water (saltwater is even worse) and get oxidized.... you can remove the greens with q-tip & alcohol... worked for me on an older iphone when trying to do a trade in.
I googled online and found many articles on iphone water damage indicators, here's a quick link to one: https://www.gazelle.com/how-to/iphone/water-damage.
Good luck!

My brand new 5s got wet over the summer and I stuck it in a bag of rice for two days and it worked but Siri was pretty crazy for about 2 weeks after that. She would keep coming on out of the blue and asking the wierdest stuff. Kind of like that commericial that is on now about trading in your iPhone. I had to turn her off. She did make a full recovery eventually though.
I have always used the Lifeproof case, but when I replaced my 5 with a 5s I did not buy a new case or even leak check it. I just swapped the phones. Rear window for the Apple logo on the Lifeproof case was where the leak was. Lesson learned!
