Dropped my iPhone X in the pool and now the camera is foggy?

i dropped my iPhone X in the shallow end of the pool and jumped in as soon as it fell and grabbed it off the bottom in roughly 10-20 seconds, now the back camera has water/condensation in it and the pictures are really blurry! I have tried putting it in rice and dried it right after it came out of the pool! Everything else is fine though.

Nothing can be done to help. Make a Genius Bar appointment at the nearest Apple Store. Water has entered the device, hence the condensation. The water will eventually destroy the device. Make sure you make a current backup before you go and be prepared to purchase an out of warranty device. If you have Apple Care Plus, you can use one of your two accidental damage deductions. Otherwise the out of warranty costs.
