First..too late but for others power down your phone after you get it out of the water..This stops the current from going into contacts. Get a pentelope screwdriver and remove the bottom screws. Use a phillips 00 screwdriver to disconnect the battery clip. Very simple. Now put it in rice for 24 hours. (available on Ebay less than $5)


The hot phone will eventually cool down. Suggest in front of a fan. STILL put it in rice before turning it on to remove the moisture.
